Refrigerator Disposal in Plymouth, MA: $20 Freon Fee

Fees at the Manomet station

The guide's table puts these appliances at Manomet with an additional-fee mark: refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers carry a $20 freon removal fee. Washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers and microwaves are $10 and go to the scrap metal pile. Water heaters go to the same pile with no fee listed. TVs and computer monitors are $15, propane tanks $2. For refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners, 'see attendant' means you stop and the attendant directs you.

The guide's footer says Manomet fees are check or money order only, and a permit is required: a vehicle entering without one is fined $100.

Can you donate a working refrigerator?

The Habitat for Humanity of Greater Plymouth ReStore in Carver takes appliances, with limits. Its refused list includes appliances over 12 years old, used hot water heaters, wall ovens and anything that does not work or is dirty. It offers free pickup for large items that stay in a garage or on the first floor, after you send photos to ReStore@hfhplymouth.org. Call 508-866-4199 before you load.

The town's Stop N' Swap takes only small appliances (clean, working, no gas motors) and lists large appliances as not accepted.

Why a Plymouth refrigerator is a hard move

The town does not collect a refrigerator at the curb, and a hauler that does will quote you a fee. To do it yourself you need a truck, an appliance dolly, a station permit that costs $190 for a full year (FY27) or $30 for 30 days, and a checkbook for the $20.

JUNKRUN prices appliances by size, freon recovery included: small $79, standard $119 (washer, dryer, stove, dishwasher), large $149 (refrigerator, chest freezer). We carry from the kitchen or basement and haul it away. Tape the doors or let us do it.
