Appliances: CFC's And You

Most metal appliances and some scrap metals are collected by appointment only, (call Public Works 891-7633) and recycled at a local scrap yard. However, appliances that contain CFC's - a refrigerant - require special handling. These include refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers. CFC's are a source of air pollution and Federal laws restrict their release. Disposal of a CFC/freon containing appliance must be done by a licensed company. The Montgomery County Transfer Station has a drop-off area for these appliances. You can self-haul or hire a private hauler to take these items to the County Transfer Station for disposal.
