How to Dispose of Water Heater in Detroit, MI
In Detroit, water heater follows the same verified program pathway as refrigerator. Detroit’s HHW Receiving Facility at 2000 E. Ferry Street does not accept appliances, AC units, or car parts. Refrigerators and other Freon white goods need a licensed appliance recycler or paid bulk/private options (city paid pickup line 313-876-0004). Empty food, remove doors when required, and never vent refrigerant yourself. Ordinary weekly bulk is for furniture-style items — not a substitute for Freon appliance recycling.
Water Heater is listed on the Detroit Bulky pickup program. Same official source as the city bulky pickup rules.
