Garfield collects white goods such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, and air conditioners by appointment only on Thursdays, requiring residents to schedule with DPW by Wednesday and remove all hazardous materials before placement.
Under Garfield's recycling and refuse rules, white goods (large household metal appliances such as stoves, washers, dryers, freezers, and air conditioners) may not be placed at the curbline for collection unless arrangements have been made with the Recycling Coordinator. Pickups occur Thursdays by appointment; residents must call DPW by Wednesday to schedule. Before any pickup, all chemicals, Freon, CFCs, and other hazardous materials must be removed by the owner at their own expense and the item must be labeled as decontaminated. Metal cannot be placed at the curb before 4:00 p.m. the night before scheduled collection. White goods cannot be brought to the recycling center.
Setting out an appliance without an appointment, putting items out before 4 p.m. the prior night, or failing to remove Freon and other hazards results in a city summons.
