Air conditioners are not on the Wentzville large item list, but St. Charles County's Recycle Works West takes them intact for a fee for each unit and recovers the refrigerant on site with certified technicians.
City cost & eligibility
$15 per air conditioner collected at Recycle Works West, with the unit delivered intact so a certified technician can recover the refrigerant. St. Charles County resident bringing the unit intact; payment is cash or check only, and gas powered or ammonia type units are refused.
When & how
Take the unit to Recycle Works West at 2110 E. Pitman Ave. in Wentzville, open Monday to Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and closed on county holidays, or call Meridian Waste Customer Care at (636) 639-7599 to ask about a large item pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the air conditioner whole and upright rather than dismantling it, because the refrigerant has to be recovered by a certified technician. A cooling unit never goes in the garbage cart.
Every large item and appliance pickup has to be scheduled in advance with Meridian Waste Customer Care, and the item goes out on the regular service day. Bundle or contain the item so two people can lift it, remove refrigerator and freezer doors, and keep tires, liquids, hazardous material and construction material out of the pile.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
