5 things Kansas City bulk pickup will not take
Every city in this metro writes its own rules, but the same five categories get excluded almost everywhere. Here is what to do with each.

A large window unit is $109 and an outdoor condenser is $115. Refrigerant handling is part of the job, not a line item on top of it.
