Urban Ore 900 Murray St. Berkeley Reuse Drop-off for a Fee $35. We do not accept freezers, refrigerators, or air conditioners that use chlorofluorocarbons (freon). We do sometimes accept clean small refrigerators that sit on a table or fit under counters, the kind students use. We will usually want to plug it in for a few minutes to see if it gets cold.
