Refrigerator removal in Beverly, MA

The Beverly freon rule

The city's appliance page says Casella does not pick up any items that contain freon, including refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers. The freon must first be removed by a licensed handler, and the page notes the handler will probably take the appliance then.

The page lists two scrap yards that handle these: Northshore Scrap Metal at 978-815-1893 and Turner Trucking & Salvage at 781-595-3741. Call first about price and hours; the city does not publish either.

Once freon is out, Casella's list shows a freezer with no freon at $75 and a no-freon air conditioner or dehumidifier at $75. Other white goods such as a stove, washer, dryer or dishwasher are $75 each and are booked through Casella; white goods are scheduled monthly.

Other ways out

Landmark School held an electronics recycling event on November 7, 2026 at the Ansara Gym. The pricing sheet lists air conditioners, dehumidifiers and refrigerators at $10 plus $1 per pound. A 150-pound refrigerator would have run about $160. Watch the city's Solid Waste page for the next event, or ask bsarkozy@landmark.org.

The city also points to Mass Save's rebates page for appliance options, and Best Buy and Staples for small electronics (Staples does not take TVs). A store delivering a new refrigerator will often take the old one; ask when you order.

Before any pickup, unplug it a day ahead, empty it and wipe it out. Tape the doors shut for the carry.

JUNKRUN pickup in Beverly

We carry a refrigerator or freezer from the kitchen, basement or garage, with freon recovery included in the price: $149 for a large appliance such as a refrigerator or chest freezer, $119 for a washer, dryer, stove or dishwasher, and $79 for a microwave, mini fridge, window AC or dehumidifier. The minimum is $159.

Beverly's two-families often have the second fridge in a basement or on a back porch. We take it up the stairs; no stair fee and no travel fee.

If the fridge is going with a pile of other furniture, quote them as one load instead of one at a time. See bulky item pickup for the city's route and what Casella charges per piece.
