Non-Accepted items: asbestos, radioactive materials or explosives (fireworks, ammunition, flares, black powder) Remember, if you need to pick up some house paint, cleaning supplies, automobile fluids, or lawn & garden chemicals, you may do so while you're here, depending on availability.
Freon Appliance Recycling
Freon appliance recycling is available for items such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers. Bring your appliance to the Hazardous Materials Facility at 3400 South Walnut Street. Click here for more info on fees. The appliances are then picked up by a company who safely recovers the Freon and recycles the unit. When Freon containing appliances are disposed of properly, it keeps our environment healthy by keeping chemical contaminants out of our air, soil, and water. There is a $20 fee for recycling freon.
