How to Dispose of Air Conditioner in Houston, TX
Treat window/central AC units like other freon appliances in Houston: do not put them in carts. Confirm whether your unit qualifies for junk-waste/depository acceptance with a freon-recovery tag, or use a licensed appliance recycler. HHW ESCs list small electrical appliances/electronics — not as a substitute for large freon appliances.
