Safe Freon Handling — Included in Every Refrigerator Removal
Illegal dumping of Freon carries fines up to $44,539 per day.
Refrigerators, freezers, and AC units contain refrigerants (Freon, R-134a, R-410A) that are illegal to vent into the atmosphere under the applicable disposal regulations. Many "free pickup" services may skip responsible disposal steps, leaving appliances in landfills.
When Clearout Junk handles your refrigerator removal in Houston, we take the appliance to a recycling facility for proper processing — including refrigerant handling. You don't have to figure out how to dispose of a Freon-containing appliance yourself. This service is included in our upfront price—never an add-on.
