Colorado rules
- Electronics built into a clothes washer or dryer are not "electronic devices" under Colorado's e-waste law, so the electronics landfill ban does not apply to them. Source: Colorado Revised Statutes 2024, Title 25 (Part 3 of Article 17: Electronic Recycling Jobs Act) (opens in new tab)
- Once freon is removed, most landfills can accept refrigerators and other appliances for recycling or disposal. Source: CDPHE: Preparing products found in your home for disposal (opens in new tab)
