Disposing of Appliances Containing CFC's *

(* Refrigerators, Freezers, Air Conditioners, Dehumidifiers, Water Coolers, etc.)

MOE Regulations state that any appliances containing CFC's such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and water coolers must be decommissioned and certified CFC free by a licensed technician. The certified notice of the decommissioning must be affixed to the appliance before it can be disposed of at the City of Barrie Landfill Site. Any of these items that are brought to the landfill site that have not been decommissioned and do not have the proper paper work stating that it has been decommissioned will not be allowed to be disposed of.

To have an appliance decommissioned (certified CFC free) bring your appliance to a licensed appliance dealer who has a trained and certified technician in the removal of CFC's. There will be a charge for this service. The fee depends on the rates that the business charges for this service. (Note: Make sure that the paper work stating that your appliance is certified CFC free is affixed to your appliance by the technician, and remains affixed to the appliance when bringing it to the City of Barrie Landfill - Landfill Attendants must be provided with this paper work, or they cannot allow the item to be disposed of). To find a business that can provide you with this service, look under Refrigeration in Barrie's Yellow Pages in the phone book.

If you would rather have your appliance (containing CFC's) collected through Barrie's Bulky Item Collection Program, it does not have to be decommissioned. There is a $25 charge for this service. Please see the Bulky Item Collection Program section for more information on this program.
