If someone else recovered it first, EPA requires a signed statement with that person's name and address and the date of recovery. EPA says no sticker is required for disposal.

Before you haul it

• Empty fridges and freezers completely.
• Check whether the program wants fridge or freezer doors removed, taped shut or left on. Rules differ by city; some reject taped doors.
• Unplug the appliance. On a gas range or dryer, have the gas line shut off and capped by a qualified person before moving it.
• Call ahead: fees and rules change, and the official pages are the final word.
