​Appliance Recycling

A resident can recycling their appliances by either taking them to one of Phoenix's two transfer stations, or by scheduling a pick-up. Please remove all Freon from refrigerators and other home appliances with coolant to avoid a $10 penalty fee at the transfer station.

Acceptable items:

  • Refrigerators
  • Washer/Dryers
  • Water Heaters
  • Freezers
  • Air Conditioners
  • Evaporative Coolers
  • Stoves
  • Dishwashers
  • Televisions (CRT and Non-CRT)
  • Microwaves

What happens to recycled materials?

Materials will be direct hauled from a resident's home to a recycling facility (scrap metal dealer) or to another facility for proper removal of regulated materials, such as refrigerants. After removal of refrigerants, recyclable materials will be taken to a scrap metal dealer.

​​​Detailed information about the city's policy and procedures ​on appliance pick-up and recycling also is available. 

Any revenues from the sale of scrap materials will be deposited into the Solid Waste Fund and used to offset disposal and other collection costs.​
