You can make a CFC removal appointment for a residential address or a non-profit institution serviced by DSNY.
Appliances that cool/chill and contain CFC include, but are not limited to:
- Refrigerators and freezers with non-flammable Freon
- Air conditioners
- Dehumidifiers
- Water or wine coolers
Up to 10 appliances can be scheduled for CFC removal per appointment.
Appliances with Flammable Freon
Some appliances contain a new kind of Freon (R600a or R32) that DSNY will not remove. These appliances have warning stickers that are yellow triangles with black flames. Contact the appliance's manufacturer or a waste removal vendor for options to safely dispose of the appliance. If you put out an appliance with this sticker, DSNY will tag it with a red sticker that will tell you how to dispose of it.
Appliances from Commercial Addresses
Stores and other commercial locations must arrange with a private carter for CFC removal and item disposal.
Oversized Appliances
If your appliance is oversized or commercial-sized, it won't fit in the garbage truck. You must hire a private removal service or carter for disposal. You can search the internet to find a business that offers private waste disposal.
Soda Machines
To dispose of a soda machine, you must make a special request by phone.
