Did You Know You Could Recycle Your Appliances? Here’s How Junk King Portland Can Help
Do you have old, broken appliances lying around your house that are collecting dust and occupying space? It might be a challenge to get rid of old items such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, and stoves. Not only are large appliances pretty difficult to lift and transport, but there’s also confusion surrounding what to do with them.
Junk King Portland offers a simple, effective, and environmentally friendly appliance removal service, so you don’t have to worry about how to get rid of your old appliances.
Not only that, but our team ensures your old appliances go to the proper place: whether it is a charitable foundation if they’re still working, or a recycling plant to guarantee they’re disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
How to Remove Old Appliances in Portland
With Junk King, appliance removal doesn’t only mean disposing of your unwanted items. It consists of working to find a new home or purpose for them – or their parts at the very least.
If you feel that it’s time to upgrade your functioning washing machine for a newer, more modern model, you can find a new purpose for it. That’s one of the great things about Junk King – we always see the value in things!
Our experienced team can assist with removing your unwanted appliances. This is the first stage. As these items are often quite large and heavy, our team will come fully prepared with all the necessary equipment and our big red trucks.
Appliance removal isn’t as simple as it sounds when it comes to laymen. You have to understand that this process consists of getting the appliance out of your house, to the curb, and loaded onto the back of the truck. Fortunately, this sounds like a breeze for the Junk King Portland team!
Additionally, for most companies, the process stops here, but not for our junk removal firm! Appliance recycling is a major part of the job, and we ensure that we do our part by assisting our clients in making the world a greener place!
Yes, Recycling Is an Option!
Our devotion to the planet is an essential aspect of our eco-friendly appliance removal service. This means that we recycle as much as possible. Don’t forget that taking your old appliances to the landfill isn’t the only solution, and it definitely isn’t the best one. Junk King Portland can dispose of your old washer and dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, range, oven, and even HVAC equipment in an environmentally friendly way.
Not only will we remove and haul away your unwanted appliances, but we will also recycle them. Most people are aware of the fact that the majority of their appliances are made out of metal. Fortunately, most metals are extremely recoverable and recyclable. You shouldn’t have to worry about scrapping these metals if you hire an experienced junk removal company to safely dispose of the items.
When you hire Junk King Portland, one thing is guaranteed: We ensure that we recycle as much of the scrap metal as we possibly can.
However, the not-so-good news is that many older appliances, such as AC units, refrigerators, and freezers, contain a harmful chemical known as Freon. This is a type of solvent that is extremely harmful to the environment, meaning that you need to handle it with extreme caution. Before you can start the recycling process on the actual appliance itself, you need a recycling facility to carefully extract the Freon from the item.
The landfill is not an option in most regions. In fact, nearly half of the states have laws prohibiting the disposal of certain products, such as appliances, in landfills. Furthermore, you have many better options for getting rid of your unwanted items.
