Freon Disposal in Charlottesville

Refrigerators and freezers contain freon (R-22, R-134a, or R-410A depending on age). Federal law requires freon to be recovered by an EPA-certified technician before disposal — it cannot simply be vented. Albemarle Moving uses EPA-certified freon recovery on all applicable appliances. Use code FREON17 to waive the standard $17 freon disposal surcharge. FREON17 can also be combined with STAIRS0 (free stair carry) on the same job.

Refrigerator Removal From Upper Floors in Charlottesville

Old refrigerators and their replacements often involve upper-floor navigation — narrow stairwells, tight doorways, and heavy appliances. Albemarle Moving removes refrigerators from any floor with no stair fee. Use code STAIRS0 for free stair carry. Describe your access situation when you call 434-230-4551 and we factor it into the estimate.

How Refrigerators Are Disposed

After freon recovery, refrigerator compressors and motors are separated for metal recycling. The steel shell is recycled as scrap metal. Plastic and foam insulation components are disposed of at appropriate facilities. Albemarle Moving routes zero working refrigerators to the Ivy Materials Utilization Center or scrap metal recyclers — nothing goes to curbside landfill pickup.
