Quick answer
Put stoves, washers, dryers and water heaters just behind the curb for your monthly brush and bulky week (set out Thursday–Sunday before). Fridges, freezers and AC units aren't collected at the curb: have the refrigerant removed and take them to McCommas Bluff Landfill, free with proof of Dallas residency.
