They are accepting all of those Large appliances, etc. that are not normally picked-up by your regualr waste removal company. There will be a charge of $40 for any "refrigerated" type of items (window air conditioners, refrigerators, etc.); due to the actual cost involved to "recover"the refrigerant in these type of items.
