Question: Do you offer pick-up service for residential customers?
Answer: Yes, we do and more often than not we are able to pay you for your material. However, at times there is a charge if the amount of material being picked up is a small or if it contains freon units.

Question: If I scrap my vehicle, do I have to have the title?

Question: Do I have to drain all of the fluids from my vehicle if I wish to scrap it?
Answer: While most scrap yards require you to do this, we do not. You can bring us your vehicle as is.

Question: Do you take alkaline or Ni/Cad batteries?
Answer: Yes, but there is a charge per pound.

Question: Do you take dehumidifiers?
Answer: Yes, but there is a charge because these units have freon in them and it needs to be removed and disposed of properly (please note that humidifiers do not contain freon, only dehumidifiers do.)

Answer: At this point the chances of that happening are highly unlikely. Refrigerators use very little Freon usually between 4 and 8 ounces. The chance of them starting to leak during normal operating conditions is quite slight. And unlike an automobile's air conditioner, they never need to be recharged and, for that matter, very seldom get into collisions. :>) This is why even though your refrigerator may not be working it doesn't mean that there is no freon.

The meaning of the term hermetic means the system is sealed to the atmosphere. On a typical refrigerator compressor , its electric motor runs right in the Freon gas, the only connection to the outside is the three electrical terminals. Another factor in your refrigerator's favour is that there are just so many of them. The new blended drop in replacements for R12, R406 and R409 will currently be available until the year 2020.

Question: Do you take paint, oil, or other substances of the like?
Answer: No, we do not. Sturgeon Bay Utilities (920) 746-2820 has a hazardous material drop off a couple of times per year. You can contact the Brown County Facility (920) 492-4950 and they can help you with this.

Question: Do you take old mattresses, toilets or sinks?
Answer: To keep it simple we take all metal. If your sink or toilet is metal and not porcelain, we will take it. Beyond that, if it is not metal, we do not take it.

Question: Do you accept pressure tanks?
Answer: Yes, but the valve stems must be removed; otherwise, there is a charge.
