How to Dispose of Freezer in Boston, MA
In Boston, freezer follows the same verified program pathway as refrigerator. Boston collects Freon-containing appliances (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers) only through scheduled special collection via 311 or boston.gov — not regular trash day. Limits: maximum five special-collection items per appointment and ten per year. Empty food, remove refrigerator doors before set-out, and place items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled day. CRT TVs/laptops/monitors use the same special-collection channel.
