RECYCLING : HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES White Goods is a generic term used to describe general household appliances such as washers, dryers, refrigerators and freezers. To dispose of a unit, you may call your city or county's Public Works Department for a bulky item pickup.
Prior to the disposal of the unit, any unit that contains freon is required to have the freon properly removed by a certified refrigeration and air conditioning technician. SPSA provides Certification Stickers to technicians. For more information about white goods disposal or to obtain stickers, contact the Recycling Office at (757) 548-2256. |
