What is Appliance Recycling? 

  Appliances are created using a combination of plastics, metals, and elements (usually liquids). So when the time comes for the appliances to ‘die’ there are a series of important steps that need to be taken to ensure that (1) the appliances are responsibly recycled without their potential toxins, and (2) that the appliances are recycled to their maximum potential.    For example, consider a smaller yet essential item for the modern person—the cellphone. When your cellphone dies, you order a new one, and then what? Your old one most likely just goes into the trash if there is not a ‘trade-in’ option available or a younger niece or nephew to give it to.   commercial junk removal services   However, properly disposing of a cellphone requires more than just a trip to the garbage can. There are many elements inside of a cellphone that can be taken out and recycled into future products. Not to mention the toxins from the cellphone’s battery are…well, toxic to the local environment. This means that if a cellphone is left in say, a landfill, there could be potentially harmful consequences.    Appliance recycling works with the same basic premises. The goal is to (1) break down the appliance into their base components to possibly use them later, and to (2) stop potential toxins from making their way into the local environment.   Most people assume that appliances cannot be recycled because they are large, heavy, and generally used until they cannot be salvaged. However, these are the best types of appliances to recycled because they would otherwise rot in an undesirable place, be it a basement or a backyard. Instead, recycling appliances makes the most out of every piece of material—and appliance recycling Cobb County means using Junk King Cobb County to aims to reuse, repurpose, donate, or recycled every piece of an appliance that they can.

How Does Appliance Recycling Work?

  Fridge Removal   How to recycle appliances works differently for every removal company and for most recycling facilities. In fact, just thinking about where to recycle appliances can be a daunting task in itself. At Junk King, the recycling process begins once the appliance is brought to our ‘recycling hub’. It’s at this hub where items are sorted into their various destinations, be it reuse, donation, or even the landfill for particularly gross and soiled objects.   Appliances get their very own group too. Appliance recycling begins with removing the toxic elements from the appliance, for example, the draining of a refrigerator’s freon or the removal of batteries from within the appliance.   After this, the item is manually disassembled and the parts that come off of it are sorted into their own piles, including recycling, trash, and reuse. After the entire machine is processed down into its most basic components, the various items are shipped away to the correct recycling facilities. Sometimes these items become useful pellets for plastics, or they are metals that can be melted into new forms. Even the toxic parts can be reused as long as the recycling facility has the tools to clean it first.    Due to there being so many aspects to just a single appliance (let alone all of the possible ones in a home), a person might find themselves asking ‘what kind of appliances can be recycled?’   The answer to this question changes depending on the removers that you use, especially because some professional removers do not actually accept appliances because they are very difficult to process down. Junk King, however, can not only haul away more appliances than anyone else, our removers make a point to be able to process any appliance that comes into our facilities, including:
