Do you handle refrigerant recovery for old refrigerators and A/C units?

Yes. EPA Section 608 requires refrigerant recovery before disposal. Providers handle this as part of standard appliance removal at no extra charge. The City of Waco curbside program cannot accept refrigerant appliances, so this is a common reason people call in.

Do you disconnect gas appliances?

Providers do not disconnect gas lines — that requires a licensed plumber. If your gas appliance is already disconnected, the provider carries it out. If it still needs gas disconnection, coordinate with a plumber first, then schedule the removal.

Can you remove a water heater?

Yes. Standard tank water heaters are a routine removal. Tankless units vary — call to describe your unit.

Appliance Removal in Waco and McLennan County

The City of Waco bulk item pickup program does not accept appliances containing refrigerant — refrigerators, freezers, and window A/C units — at curbside. EPA Section 608 regulations require refrigerant recovery before these appliances can be disposed of. Providers handle recovery as part of standard appliance removal. This makes a local junk removal provider the primary practical option for refrigerator and A/C unit disposal in Waco and McLennan County outside of purchasing a new appliance with haul-away service.
