Safe Freon Handling — Included in Every Refrigerator Removal
Illegal dumping of Freon carries fines up to $44,539 per day. We keep you compliant.
Refrigerators, freezers, and AC units contain refrigerants (Freon, R-134a, R-410A) that are illegal to vent into the atmosphere under the EPA's Clean Air Act. Many "free pickup" services skip proper Freon recovery to cut costs—leaving you potentially liable.
When Clearout Junk handles your refrigerator removal in Houston, we guarantee EPA-compliant refrigerant recovery on every unit. The Freon is safely extracted before the appliance is sent to a certified recycling facility where metals, plastics, and glass are reclaimed. This service is included in our upfront price—never an add-on.
