A Guide to Recycling Old Appliances

Avoid letting your used appliances go to waste

Stove Removal: Your Options

If you’re upgrading your kitchen or need to get rid of an old one, recycling is the most eco-friendly option. Many older appliances contain toxic chemicals. These components then leak into the ground when they’re left to rot in a landfill. Additionally, they are mostly made of metal and other easily recyclable materials. Read on to find out what you need to know about recycling old appliances.

Recycling Old Appliances

  • Replace your old appliance with a new one from a store that offers recycling services. Ask your local appliance store if they’ll pick up your old appliance when they deliver the new one.
  • There is a vast number of appliances can be recycled. Here’s a list of a few popular ones:
    • Refrigerators
    • Freezers
    • Air conditioners
    • Dishwashers
    • Washing machines and dryers
    • Lawnmowers
    • Vacuum cleaners
    • Refrigerators
    • Stoves, toasters, and ovens
    • Microwaves ovens
  • Find a nearby recycling center online. For example, you can try searching for facilities through Earth911. Or, just try a simple Google search! There is a good chance of there being a number of appliance recycling centers in your area that are willing to accept used models for a small fee.
  • Call your local trash company to ask if they’ll accept your old appliance. Some municipalities offer periodic pickups or drop-off events for your smaller appliances. Another idea is to ask your utility company if they have an appliance recycling program. Utility companies encourage the use of newer, energy efficient models, so they might be of help.
