Minnesota disposal rules
- Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. §115A.9561) bans putting major appliances in with regular mixed municipal solid waste -- they must be recycled or reused, with refrigerant, PCB-containing capacitors/ballasts, and mercury removed first. Every Minnesota county must give its households a way to recycle major appliances. (Minn. Stat. §115A.9561 (revisor.mn.gov))
- Separately, Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. §116.731) makes it illegal to knowingly vent CFC refrigerant from an appliance into the environment -- it has to be properly recovered. (Minn. Stat. §116.731 (revisor.mn.gov))

Frequently asked questions
How much does appliance removal cost?
Most appliance removal jobs are priced as a single item (see Twin Cities Junk Finder's cost guide for the full range by job size) rather than by weight -- get a firm quote from the company before booking.
Which companies handle appliance removal?
Most junk removal companies listed on Twin Cities Junk Finder handle common household items like this as part of general service, but acceptance can vary by company -- confirm with the specific company you contact before booking.
Can I just put it out with the regular trash?
Not always -- some items have real Minnesota disposal rules (see below) that regular trash pickup doesn't satisfy. Check the rules for this item before setting it at the curb.
