You can have the Freon removed by a licensed technician. A list of licensed Freon removal sites is available here. Once the Freon is removed and the label is affixed to the appliance, the appliance is considered scrap metal. | Westchester County accepts hazardous material at the Household Material Reclamation Facility.

The easiest method of removal and safe disposal is to have the old appliance removed and taken away by the appliance store when a new freezer is being installed.

Additional Information Because they contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which are also known as Freon, refrigerators cannot be put out at curbside. Proper disposal is required. | ||
