Refrigerator removal in Milton, MA

Curbside: the $35 sticker

For curbside pickup, purchase a $35 large item sticker from the Treasurer's office at Town Hall, 525 Canton Ave. Large item stickers are only sold there, and the town says to use nine $4 trash stickers if you cannot get to it. Then call Sunrise Scavenger at 617-361-8000 to schedule. Refrigerator doors must be removed for disposal. It counts as your one large item that week, so book a week with no sofa or mattress waiting. Air conditioners and dehumidifiers use the same sticker.

Recycling Center: $12 on a Saturday

Refrigerators, air conditioners and dehumidifiers are $12 per item at the Recycling Center, three $4 stickers each. The center is at 629 Randolph Ave., open 9 a.m. to 12 noon on the first Saturday of the month. The next dates are Nov 7, Dec 5 and Jan 9. It takes stickers only, and you need a truck or a trailer with two people. Remove the doors first and take the stickers with you. The town does not list freezers on the page, so call 617-898-4900 about a chest freezer.

Washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers and water heaters are different: they go curbside with the $35 sticker, or as scrap metal at the center, free.

Doors, stairs and Milton basements

Old refrigerators in Milton often sit in a basement or kitchen at the end of a narrow stair. Empty and defrost it two days before, tape the shelves and take the doors off at the hinges if the town needs them off. We carry from the kitchen, basement or garage, and a standard refrigerator is $119 while an oversized unit is $149. The $159 minimum covers any pickup. We take the doors off if you cannot. The metal goes to a recycler.

If it still works, try the Habitat ReStore in West Roxbury at 617-327-1170 first; donations must be in working order.
