How to Dispose of Water Heater in Boston, MA
Boston’s special collection page directs water heaters, dishwashers, and plumbing fixtures to donate or a private hauler — they are not Freon special-collection items. Treat water heaters the same way: reuse/donate when possible, otherwise hire a private appliance hauler. Do not book these on the Freon/CRT special-collection appointment used for refrigerators and CRTs.
Water Heater is listed on the Boston Bulky pickup program. Same official source as the city bulky pickup rules.
