How to Dispose of Broken Appliances the Right Way

Broken appliances are heavy, bulky, and expensive to dispose of improperly. Items like washers, dryers, stoves, and refrigerators contain large amounts of recyclable metal.

Placing appliances in dumpsters increases weight dramatically and often leads to special handling fees. Recycling appliances removes these costs entirely.

Appliances must be prepared correctly before recycling. Fluids, refrigerants, and non-metal components must be handled according to facility guidelines.

Proper appliance disposal keeps waste areas clean and prevents unnecessary charges.
