A dead stove or a rusted-out water heater is an easy problem in Dallas: the City picks those up free, once a month, from the curb. A dead refrigerator is a different problem, and it is the one that leaves appliances sitting in driveways for weeks. It contains refrigerant, the City will not collect it curbside unless the refrigerant has already been removed, and no Dallas page says who is allowed to remove it or what that costs.

This guide covers both cases in the order they actually come up: whether your address is covered, which appliances go out with brush and bulky, which week yours is collected and where the pile goes, how the refrigerant rule works and what federal law says about it, where to drive the unit yourself if you cannot wait, and the routes that look obvious but will turn you away at the gate.

Quick Answer

Inside the City of Dallas curbside service area, a stove, washer, dryer, or water heater that holds no coolant, gasoline, or other chemicals goes out with the free monthly brush-and-bulky collection, within a limit of 10 cubic yards per collection week. There is no per-item appliance charge — the service is included in the monthly residential solid waste fee.

Appliances that hold refrigerant — refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers — are different. Dallas does not collect them curbside unless the refrigerant has been removed. Federal law (Clean Air Act Section 608) requires recovery by a certified technician before final disposal, and the city's pages state no tag rule, no removal service, and no price for that work.

If you cannot wait for your collection week, the fallback is free self-haul to McCommas Bluff Landfill, 5100 Youngblood Road, which lists "Appliances (refrigerants removed, if applicable)" for Dallas residents who bring proof of residency in an allowed vehicle.

Verify two things before acting: your assigned collection week and the current program rules — from the address lookup at Dallas.gov/sanitation or by calling 3-1-1. The Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center does not take appliances, even a degassed one.

Quick Facts

• Monthly limit: 10 cubic yards per collection week
• Accepted at the curb: stoves, washers, dryers, water heaters — nothing containing coolant, gasoline, or other chemicals
• Excluded at the curb: air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, lawnmowers
• Set-out window: no earlier than 7:00 a.m. the Thursday before your collection week; at the curb by 7:00 a.m. the Monday of that week
• Cadence: once a month on your assigned 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Monday week; no appointment needed
• Free drop-off: McCommas Bluff Landfill, 5100 Youngblood Road, (214) 670-0977
• Not appliance routes: the three transfer stations and the Home Chemical Collection Center
• Numbers: 3-1-1 (or 214-670-3111 outside the city); Sanitation administration 214-670-3555

Which Route Fits Your Appliance?

Two blanks in that table are deliberate. No official Dallas page states a fee for refrigerant removal or a dedicated appliance pickup, and none states who is allowed to perform the removal. Any guide quoting a Dallas "freon removal" price is quoting something the city has not published.

Are You Actually in the City of Dallas Service Area?

These rules cover City of Dallas Sanitation Services curbside customers — single-family homes and duplexes whose garbage and recycling are paid on the City of Dallas utility (water) bill. Non-residential customers are not eligible, and the program is not available for business or commercial properties.

Three groups get caught out most often:

• Independent suburbs. Irving, Garland, Richardson, Mesquite, and Farmers Branch run their own collection and are not covered by Dallas rules, even though several participate in the county household hazardous waste program. Check your own city's bulky-item rules.
• Apartment and multi-family residents. Sanitation is described as the exclusive solid waste provider for single-family homes and duplexes; multi-family and commercial properties may use the city or a private authorized hauler and sit outside the residential program.
• Businesses — non-residential customers cannot use it.

If you are unsure which side of the line your address falls on, call 3-1-1 before setting anything out. One phone call prevents the most common wasted effort in this process: a pile that sits at the curb because the address was never on the City route.

Which Appliances Qualify at the Curb

Dallas's accepted bulky-item list explicitly includes "Stoves, washers, dryers, water heaters." The broader definition of bulky trash covers furniture, appliances with the freon removed where applicable, mattresses, bagged or containerized small household trash, and items too large for a normal compaction truck.

The exclusions are equally clear: curbside brush and bulky does not accept any appliance containing coolant, gasoline, or other chemicals — named as air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, and lawnmowers. Both the official calendar and the December 2025 water bill insert list "refrigerant-based (Freon) appliances" under Items NOT Accepted. A refrigerator is bulky trash only after its refrigerant has been removed.

Dishwashers are a grey area — no refrigerant, but not named on the accepted list the way stoves and washers are. Confirm with 3-1-1 before setting one out.

Your Collection Week, the 10-Cubic-Yard Limit, and Set-Out Rules

Brush and bulky items are collected once a month, on your assigned 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Monday week. Your week depends on your address, and there is no collection in a fifth-Monday week. The limit is 10 cubic yards per collection week. A standard monthly set-out needs no appointment or phone call — service requests are only for the once-a-year oversize collection or an on-demand pickup.

Items may go out as early as 7:00 a.m. the Thursday before your collection week and must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. the Monday of that week — the calendar summarizes this as "Thursday through Sunday before your collection week."

Placement rules:

• Put items just behind the curb line in front of your home.
• Never in the street, on the sidewalk, in an alley, at the side of the home, or on property across from or adjacent to your home.
• Never in front of a vacant lot or a business.
• Keep at least 5 feet of clearance from roll carts, mailboxes, fences or walls, water meters, telephone boxes, parked cars, fire hydrants, utility or light poles, and traffic signs.
• Do not stack items under low-hanging tree limbs or power lines.

An Orange Tag signals a violation that must be corrected before the location is serviced; the rules are governed by Dallas City Code Chapter 18.

One alley note: about 200 alley blocks (roughly 6,000 homes) move to curbside collection for garbage and recycling effective February 1, 2027, with collection days unchanged. Brush and bulky is already curbside, so the appliance route does not change — bulky items never go in an alley, before or after the transition.

Refrigerators, Freezers, and AC Units: The Refrigerant Rule

Why the rule exists. Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers contain refrigerant. Under the federal Clean Air Act Section 608, refrigerant must be recovered before final disposal, knowingly venting is prohibited, and recovery must be done by a certified technician — not a homeowner job.

What the disposal chain must hold. The final processor (a scrap recycler or a landfill) must hold either a signed statement naming the person who recovered the refrigerant with the date, or a signed contract attesting to recovery. That is why a scrap yard or landfill may ask you for paperwork.

What Dallas says — and does not say. The city requires "refrigerants removed, if applicable" and excludes refrigerant-based appliances from curbside collection. It does not state who may perform the removal, whether a tag or certificate must be attached, where to have it done, or what it costs. There is no published Dallas tag requirement, no city removal service, and no published price.

What to do instead. Contact a licensed HVAC or appliance technician, ask them to recover the refrigerant, ask what documentation they provide, and get pricing before booking. With the refrigerant recovered, the unit can go out as bulky trash on your collection week or be self-hauled to McCommas Bluff.

Two related points: the EPA notes older units may contain mercury switches and pre-1979 PCB capacitors — keep those out of the regular trash. And the EPA advises storing refrigerators upright with doors off, since doors are an entrapment hazard. That is safety advice, not a Dallas requirement; the city requires nothing about doors.

Free Self-Haul to McCommas Bluff Landfill

McCommas Bluff Landfill — 5100 Youngblood Road, (214) 670-0977. Monday–Friday 5 a.m.–8 p.m., Saturday 6 a.m.–4 p.m., closed Sunday.

• Accepted, as listed: "Appliances (refrigerants removed, if applicable)," plus furniture, household waste, electronics (residents only), and tires (limit 6 per year from Dallas residents, maximum 25 inches).
• Cost: no charge for Dallas residents hauling their own residential waste in a passenger car, station wagon, pickup, or trailer under 15 feet.
• Proof of residency: a current, valid Texas driver's license showing a Dallas address, or a current Dallas water utilities bill.
• Loads: loose loads must be covered; an uncovered load incurs a $40 fee.

The three transfer stations — Northwest/Bachman (9500 Harry Hines Blvd, 214-670-6161), Northeast/Fair Oaks (7677 Fair Oaks Ave, 214-670-6126), and Southwest/Westmoreland (4610 S. Westmoreland Rd, 214-670-1927) — list recyclables, electronics, brush, scrap metal, household waste, and furniture, but appliances are not on the transfer-station list. Default to McCommas Bluff, and call the specific station before driving an appliance there.

The Home Chemical Collection Center Is Not an Appliance Route

The Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center (HC3), 11234 Plano Road, Dallas, TX 75243, (214) 553-1765, is open Tuesday 9 a.m.–7:30 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m., and the 2nd and 4th Saturdays 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Closed Sunday, Monday, and Friday.

Its "Do not Bring" list states plainly: "No Appliances, TVs or Microwaves" — with or without refrigerant removal. HC3 is for household hazardous waste: paint, chemicals, lawn and garden products, aerosols, pool chemicals, cleaners, batteries, auto fluids, fluorescent tubes, computers, and cell phones.

HC3 is free to residents of Dallas and participating cities: Addison, Dallas, DeSoto, Duncanville, Farmers Branch, Garland, Highland Park, Irving, Mesquite, Richardson, Rowlett, Sachse, Seagoville, Sunnyvale, University Park, and unincorporated Dallas County. Residents of other cities pay a minimum waste-management fee — official sources differ ($100 on the county page, $95 on the city page), so call (214) 553-1765 to confirm. Bring a driver's license plus a water or utility bill.

The city's BOPA mobile events (batteries, oil, paint, antifreeze) are not an appliance route.

Oversize Loads, On-Demand Pickup, Retailer Haul-Away, and Donation

Once-a-year oversize collection. Dallas allows one oversized brush-and-bulky collection per calendar year of up to 20 cubic yards, with no more than 10 cubic yards of bulky trash. It replaces one monthly collection and is requested through an online service request, the Dallas 311 app, or 3-1-1 — submitted the week prior and up to Sunday 11:59 p.m. before the scheduled Monday collection week. It cannot be cancelled.

Cost-Plus on-demand collection covers brush and bulky outside your normal collection week, plus construction and remodeling material. Call 311 (or 214.670.5111 outside the city) for a free estimate. Bricks, concrete, rocks, dirt, paint, oil, and hazardous containers are never collected in Cost-Plus or regular brush-and-bulky service.

Retailer haul-away works well when you are buying a replacement. Best Buy does not accept large appliances in stores but offers paid haul-away and recycles them — its partner recovers ozone-depleting chemicals and refrigerants from discarded refrigerators and freezers. Coverage includes refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, ranges and stoves, cooktops, wall ovens, dishwashers, ice makers, and microwaves.

Two fee cautions: Best Buy's own pages conflict — $49.99 with a replacement delivered on one haul-away page versus $59.99 in its recycling FAQ, plus $199.99 standalone for up to two large products. Home Depot's official delivery checklist states no fee, describes haul-away as an added service tied to delivery, and disallows commercial and built-in appliances such as Sub-Zero or GE Monogram. Confirm any retailer figure on the retailer's own page at purchase time, and note that haul-away normally requires buying and delivering a replacement. An appliance not being replaced must be disconnected before the crew arrives.

Donation and scrap. A working appliance is worth more donated or traded in than scrapped. TCEQ points households to local scrap dealers, waste haulers, or a recycling company, and notes some facilities require refrigerant removal by a certified technician before acceptance — though TCEQ publishes no Dallas-specific appliance rule. No official source states scrap or private junk-removal pricing, so get any quote in writing before you agree to it.

Fees: What Is Documented and What Is Not

• Curbside brush and bulky: included in the monthly residential solid waste fee; no separate per-item appliance fee is published.
• The monthly fee figure itself is conflicted. The Brush & Bulky FAQ states $37.98/month; the Sanitation department home page states $40.09/month through January 31, 2027, plus proposed rates from February 1, 2027. Read your current Dallas utility bill or call 3-1-1 rather than trusting a published number.
• $60 per 5 cubic yards — the non-compliance fee for set-outs over the limit or containing prohibited items, billed in 5-cubic-yard increments and citable under Dallas City Code Sec. 18-4(h).
• $40 — uncovered-load fee at the landfill.
• Free — self-haul to McCommas Bluff for Dallas residents with proof of residency; HC3 for Dallas and participating-city residents (a minimum $95–$100 fee is reported for other cities).
• Not documented anywhere official: a refrigerant-removal price, a dedicated city appliance pickup fee, and retailer haul-away fees. Any listing quoting an $80 Dallas appliance "special collection" pickup is not supported by an official source.

Apartments, Renters, and the Utility-Bill Line

Renting does not change the refrigerant rule: a refrigerator or freezer in a rental still needs its refrigerant recovered by a certified technician before set-out or self-haul. Renting does change the eligibility answer, and the official pages do not settle every case.

• Large apartment or multi-family complex: these sit outside the residential program. Ask the property manager who arranges bulky-item disposal and whether the building has private hauling. No published city page grants renters in larger complexes curbside brush-and-bulky rights.
• Garbage account in the landlord's name: the official pages do not say whether you may schedule or set out brush and bulky yourself. Treat it as unresolved — ask your property manager and confirm through the 3-1-1 service-request channel before putting an appliance at the curb.
• Renting a single-family home or duplex inside the city: your address type is covered, but eligibility runs through the City utility bill. If the account is in the landlord's name, confirm with the landlord or 3-1-1 who may place the set-out.
• Self-hauling to McCommas Bluff: free self-haul requires proof of Dallas residency — a current Texas DL with a Dallas address or a current Dallas water bill. If the water account is in your landlord's name, you may not be able to produce that bill. Confirm your documents before loading a truck.
• Built-in or landlord-owned appliance: responsibility is generally set by the lease, and no published Dallas page obligates the city to collect it. Start with the property manager.

Preparing an Appliance for Set-Out or Drop-Off

1. Confirm your address is inside the City of Dallas service area and that garbage and recycling are paid on a City utility bill.
2. Find your assigned collection week (1st/2nd/3rd/4th Monday) at Dallas.gov/sanitation or by calling 3-1-1.
3. Resolve the refrigerant question first for a refrigerator, freezer, AC, or dehumidifier — licensed technician, documentation, pricing up front.
4. Set out no earlier than 7:00 a.m. the Thursday before your collection week, at the curb by 7:00 a.m. that Monday, with 5 feet of clearance from carts, mailboxes, fences, meters, boxes, cars, hydrants, poles, and signs, and clear of low limbs and power lines.
5. Stay within 10 cubic yards; request the once-a-year oversize collection the week prior if you need more, and remember it cannot be cancelled.
6. Keep the pile pure — no tires, electronics, household garbage, construction or demolition debris, hazardous materials, paint, refrigerant appliances, or business waste. A mixed pile can be billed $60 per 5 cubic yards and cited.
7. Empty the unit and disconnect water lines; hire a professional for gas connections.
8. For self-haul, bring a current Texas DL with a Dallas address or a current Dallas water bill, use an allowed vehicle, and cover the load.
9. For retailer haul-away, empty and disconnect the appliance — including water, ice-maker, and gas lines — before the crew arrives, and confirm the item is on the haul-away list.
10. Consider donation or a trade-in for a working appliance.

Safety Warnings

• Never vent refrigerant, and never attempt removal yourself. Federal law prohibits knowing venting; recovery requires certified equipment and training.
• Never place a refrigerant appliance in a roll-off or container mixed with trash heading directly to a landfill — EPA guidance is explicit.
• Placement is a safety rule, not just an ordinance. Items in the street or on the sidewalk obstruct crews and pedestrians.
• Older appliances may contain mercury switches and pre-1979 PCB capacitors. Keep them out of the regular trash.
• Doors are an entrapment hazard. EPA advises storing refrigerators upright with doors off — safety advice, not a Dallas requirement.
• Large appliances are heavy. Use a two-person lift or a dolly, and secure your load — a shifting appliance is a road hazard.
• Do not dismantle an appliance to fit a route — confirm the route's acceptance rules instead.
• If you are told the refrigerant is "already gone," ask for documentation. The federal paperwork burden sits on the disposal chain.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Setting an appliance out in the wrong week because you assumed a fixed collection day.
• Putting a refrigerator, freezer, or AC at the curb without refrigerant removal — billable and citable.
• Assuming the city removes refrigerant for free, or that DIY recovery is acceptable.
• Leaving bulky items in an alley, the street, or on the sidewalk instead of behind the curb line.
• Setting items out earlier than 7:00 a.m. the Thursday before your collection week.
• Mixing tires, electronics, paint, or household garbage into the pile and making the whole set-out non-compliant.
• Driving an appliance to a transfer station (not on their list) or to HC3 ("No Appliances, TVs or Microwaves").
• Arriving at the landfill without a current Texas DL showing a Dallas address or a current Dallas water bill.
• Quoting a retailer haul-away fee as settled when the retailer's own pages disagree.

FAQ

Can Dallas pick up my old stove, washer, dryer, or water heater at the curb?

Yes — those are on the accepted bulky list and go out with the free monthly brush-and-bulky collection within the 10-cubic-yard limit, for Dallas residents paying for garbage and recycling on their City utility bill. Confirm your collection week first.

Can I put my refrigerator, freezer, or window AC at the curb?

Only after a certified technician has removed the refrigerant. Curbside collection excludes any appliance containing coolant, gasoline, or other chemicals. The city states no tag rule and provides no removal service.

Do I need to schedule the standard monthly pickup?

No. Standard set-outs need no appointment; service requests are only for the once-a-year oversize collection or a Cost-Plus pickup.

When exactly can I set items out?

No earlier than 7:00 a.m. the Thursday before your collection week, and at the curb by 7:00 a.m. the Monday of that week — the calendar summarizes it as Thursday through Sunday before your collection week. Confirm your week first; early set-outs can be cited.

Where does the pile go?

Just behind the curb line in front of your home — never in the street or on the sidewalk, never in an alley, at the side of the home, on property across from or adjacent to it, or in front of a vacant lot or business. Keep 5 feet of clearance from carts, mailboxes, walls, meters, telephone boxes, cars, hydrants, poles, and signs. An Orange Tag means a violation.

I cannot wait for my collection week. What now?

Self-haul free to McCommas Bluff Landfill, 5100 Youngblood Road, which accepts "Appliances (refrigerants removed, if applicable)" from Dallas residents in a passenger car, station wagon, pickup, or trailer under 15 feet with proof of residency. Transfer stations do not list appliances.

Can I take it to the Home Chemical Collection Center instead?

No — HC3's list states "No Appliances, TVs or Microwaves." Use it only for paint, chemicals, batteries, oil, antifreeze, fluorescent tubes, computers, and cell phones.

I have more than 10 cubic yards. What are my options?

Request the once-a-year oversize collection — up to 20 cubic yards, no more than 10 cubic yards of bulky trash — via online service request, the 311 app, or 3-1-1, submitted the week prior. It cannot be cancelled. Alternatively, arrange Cost-Plus on-demand pickup through 311.

What happens if I set out too much or mix in banned items?

The pile may still be collected and billed $60 per 5 cubic yards in 5-cubic-yard increments, and you may be cited. The entire set-out can be treated as non-compliant.

I rent and the water bill is in my landlord's name. Can I use this?

Unresolved. Eligibility is tied to the City utility bill, and the official pages do not address a renter whose account is in the landlord's name. Ask your property manager and confirm through 3-1-1.

I live in an apartment or large complex. Now what?

Multi-family properties sit outside the residential brush-and-bulky program and may use the city or a private authorized hauler. No published city page grants renters in larger complexes curbside brush-and-bulky rights — ask the property manager who arranges disposal.

What will a retailer charge to haul my old appliance away?

Unconfirmed. Best Buy's haul-away page states $49.99 with a replacement while its recycling FAQ states $59.99, plus $199.99 standalone. Home Depot's checklist states no fee and disallows built-in and commercial units. Confirm on the retailer's own page at purchase time.

Is my block moving to curbside collection in 2027?

About 200 alley blocks move from alley to curbside collection for garbage and recycling effective February 1, 2027, with collection days unchanged. Brush and bulky is already a curbside set-out, so this does not change the appliance route.

Jurisdiction and eligibility warning: this guide covers the City of Dallas Sanitation Services curbside service area only — single-family homes and duplexes whose garbage and recycling are paid on the City of Dallas utility (water) bill. Independent suburbs that run their own collection, including Irving, Garland, Richardson, Mesquite, and Farmers Branch, are not covered, and readers outside the city must check their own city's rules. Multi-family and commercial properties are outside the residential brush-and-bulky program; whether a renter whose utility account is in a landlord's name may set out brush and bulky is not addressed on the official pages. Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers are not collected curbside unless the refrigerant has been removed by a certified technician, and the Home Chemical Collection Center does not accept appliances.

Collection weeks, program rules, hours, and eligibility can change. Confirm your assigned collection week and the current brush-and-bulky rules at Dallas.gov/sanitation or by calling 3-1-1 before setting anything out or loading a vehicle. Verify refrigerant handling with a licensed technician, and call (214) 670-0977 for current McCommas Bluff details.
