- Are disposal and dump fees included?
- Do you carry liability insurance in case something in the home is damaged?
- How many people will come, and will they carry items down stairs?
- Which items won't you take?
- Who recovers the refrigerant from a fridge or freezer, and can I have the signed statement?
Appliances and refrigerators: what San Antonio takes
Accepted
- Large appliances
- Water heaters
Local rules that apply to appliances and refrigerators
- The four bulky drop-off centers (Bitters, Culebra, Frio City and Rigsby) take up to 4 cubic yards of bulky items and 1 cubic yard of construction material per visit, Tuesday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon. They do not take household trash. Source
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 San Antonio may ask for proof before they accept a fridge.
How pickup works in San Antonio
San Antonio does not take bulky items by appointment. Each home gets two curbside brush and bulky collections a year on a fixed cycle, and a door hanger arrives 7 to 10 days before your week. The date on the hanger is the set-out day, and crews can take the rest of the week to reach your street. Between cycles you can pay for an out-of-cycle pickup, or take a load to one of the city's four bulky drop-off centers with your energy bill and photo ID.
The schedule, set-out and limit rules don't single out appliances and refrigerators; they follow the general bulky item rules.
