Atlanta Refrigerator Disposal Do you need appliance removal right away? Click Here! There’s a company in Atlanta that operates a “free” appliance recycling drop-off facility. What’s free is the ability for you to drop off your washers, dryers, stoves, refrigerators, and freezers. If you are dropping off dishwashers, microwaves, hot water heaters, lawnmowers, or barbeque grills, however, you have to pay five dollars per appliance. Oh, and if you are dropping off water coolers or air conditioners you have to pay $10 per appliance. Now, their business hours for drop-offs are Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4:30 PM and, on the surface, this might seem like a pretty good deal. But there is no mention of exactly how you’re supposed to get your items over to this facility. All this calls into question the idea of “free” recycling. Do you have to rent some sort of moving truck or cargo van to carry out this mission? Not only that, but you might also have to hire some additional help. And because the center is only open during the week, you’ll probably have to take time from work to get this job done. It’s easy to see how this “free service” could become a very costly affair. But there is a better way. Getting Strategic with Junk Removal in Atlanta If you’re getting rid of your old refrigerator you may also be replacing it with a newer model. That’s a great idea since it will mean you can purchase a more energy-efficient and smart refrigerator. The newest models will not only help reduce your monthly electric bills but can let you know when it’s time to get more milk! In addition, you might even be eligible for a rebate when you purchase a new, energy-efficient appliance. When you do upgrade your refrigerator, consider getting one with some of the great features that you might have gone without previously, such as an in-door ice and water dispenser or a glass-paneled easy access door that allows you to see inside without letting the cold air out. So, how long can you enjoy your new refrigerator? Today’s high-tech refrigerator units should last you anywhere between five to eight years so spending the extra money now will be paid back in the long run over the course of time. If you time it right, you can schedule Junk King Atlanta to come and remove your old refrigerator and other items on the same day that your new refrigerator shows up. This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “Out with the old, in with the new!” Why Your Old Refrigerator Shouldn’t Go to the Dump Back in the day that was the thing to do. When the old ice box stopped working you hauled it into the back of the truck (or someone else’s!) and took it to the dump. Maybe you had a guy nearby who dealt in refurbished appliances or scrap metal, or both. And that was that. No longer. Today, the best old refrigerator disposal solution is to have it recycled. If you know that you're not going to be able to sell your old refrigerator or even donate it, what do you do with it? While some people still think that the obvious answer is to simply dump it, that's actually the worst thing you could do. And nowadays you may not even be able to dump it anywhere. However, the good news is that most of what a refrigerator is made from can be efficiently recycled and that can be material reused. In fact, one of the cool things about refrigerator disposal is that these appliances are highly recyclable. After the coolant and any other toxic components have been professionally removed, over 90 percent of that old fridge can be recycled and reused. As the EPA states, "Almost all of the materials in your refrigerator or freezer can be recycled. This includes the metal cabinet, plastic liner, glass shelves, the refrigerant and oil in the compressor, and the blowing agent contained in polyurethane foam insulation." Which is why taking it to a recycling facility is the better option. And the best thing about refrigerator disposal here in the North Atlanta region is that you don't have to do it yourself!
