How to get rid of an old fridge in Toronto
By Junk Pros GTA1 min read
An old fridge can't go in regular Toronto garbage because of the refrigerant. Here are your real options, including a $179 pickup.
An old fridge can't go out with regular Toronto curbside waste because it contains refrigerant that must be drained by certified processors. You have three options: a retailer haul-away when you buy a new one, a trip to a facility that accepts appliances, or a flat-rate pickup — Junk Pros GTA takes fridges for $179 with no surcharge.
Why a fridge can't go to the curb
Refrigerant gases must be handled by certified processors, so appliances with them aren't accepted in normal collection anywhere in the GTA.
The retailer option
Many appliance retailers haul away your old fridge when they deliver the new one, sometimes free. Ask at purchase, it's the cheapest route if the timing lines up.
When to just book a pickup
If you're not buying a replacement, it's a spare fridge in the basement, or it needs to go now, a flat $179 pickup includes the stair carry and certified disposal. Empty and defrost it and tape the doors.
