Everything You Need to Know About Appliance Recycling

Are you investing in new, more energy efficient appliances? What will you do with the old ones? Or what happens when your favorite appliances just stop working? You’ve probably seen a lot of abandoned appliances lying at the curb waiting for a dump truck to take them to the local landfill. But that’s a big mistake and in the case of refrigerators, washers, and dryers, it’s against the law in California to abandon one without removing its doors!

The safer and more eco-friendly alternative is appliance recycling.

The Upside of Appliance Recycling

It’s estimated that in the U.S. there are approximately 200 million household refrigerators, 40 million AC units, and 15 million dehumidifiers. About nine million refrigerators, six million AC units, and one million dehumidifiers are thrown out each year.

The biggest problem with just tossing these appliances into a landfill is that refrigerators contain ozone-depleting refrigerants or foam blowing agents. AC units and dehumidifiers also contain harmful refrigerants. While replacing these energy-sucking appliances is good for the environment and your wallet, it’s important they be properly disposed of and their harmful chemicals captured and recycled.

The benefits to appliance recycling are significant:

  • Emission of harmful chemicals present in refrigerants and foams is prevented.
  • PCBs, mercury, and used oil are properly disposed of.
  • Landfill space is saved.
  • Significant amounts of plastics, metals, and glass are recycled.
  • Energy consumption is reduced.

Not all old appliances need to be dismantled. Some newer models that are still working can be sent to local non-profit organizations for resale or donation to a family or facility in need.
