Appliances and refrigerators: what Akron takes
No item-specific rule turned up for appliances and refrigerators on the official Akron pages, so the general bulky item rules below apply.
Under federal rules, the refrigerant in household fridges, freezers and window air conditioners must be recovered before the appliance is scrapped or landfilled, and the last site in the chain must keep a signed statement saying who recovered it and when (EPA Section 608). That is why sites near Akron may ask for proof before they accept a fridge.
