Refrigerant-Based Appliance Rules in Pearland

Certain appliances contain refrigerants like Freon (CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs), which are regulated due to their environmental impact. That means special handling is required before they can be hauled away. Bubba’s Junk Removal follows EPA and local Pearland guidelines to ensure safe and legal disposal.

Appliances That Contain Refrigerants

• 🧊 Refrigerators & Freezers
• ❄️ Air Conditioners (window, central, and portable units)
• 🛁 Dehumidifiers
• 🍦 Ice Makers & Water Coolers
• 🌀 Commercial Coolers & Vending Machines

What the City Requires

• ⚠️ Freon Removal — Appliances must have refrigerant removed by a licensed HVAC technician before curbside collection.
• 🏷️ Tag Required — A visible “Freon removed” tag must be attached.
• 🚫 No Tag = No Pickup — City crews will reject untagged refrigerators, freezers, or AC units.
• 📏 Volume Restrictions — Even tagged appliances count toward the 2 cubic yard per week bulk limit.
