Can I place old appliances at the curb for pick up with my trash?

Metal appliances and metal items (other than appliances containing Freon) can be disposed of in two ways. Items such as washing machines, dryers, stoves, humidifiers, bed frames, water heaters etc. can be placed at the curb for regular trash collection (the first pick up of the week during the summer) or brought to the Recycling Center to be disposed of in the dumpster for metal items.

Electronic appliances such as TVs, computers, printers, are no longer allowed in the trash. These items must be brought to the Recycling Center and placed in the electronic recycling container. Any item with a plug may be placed in the electronic recycling container. Often when receiving a delivery for a new appliance, TVs, etc, the vendor will remove the old appliance.
