Recycling household appliances in an environmentally friendly manner

DIY appliance removal isn't just a risk to your back—improper disposal is a risk to the environment. Many older units contain ozone-depleting chemicals and hazardous materials that can leak into the soil or air when left to break down in a landfill. We ensure your old appliances are handled responsibly, protecting both your health and the planet.

We do our best to recycle old appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, microwaves, freezers, or dishwashers whenever possible.

How do we do it?

Household appliances contain metals and chemicals that help them function, but they also require careful disposal to protect the environment. Here’s our process:

  • Safe material removal: We start by removing hazardous materials like mercury, refrigerants, and oils.
  • Responsible disposal: We safely dispose of waste products and recover recyclable materials like metal, plastic, and glass.
  • Shredding and separation: Appliances are shredded, with magnets and specialized equipment removing steel and nonferrous metals like aluminum.
  • Repurposing: The remaining materials are separated and sold to manufacturers to be reused in new products.

By following these steps, we ensure your old appliances are recycled in the safest, most environmentally-friendly way.

Recycling small appliances is essential because they often contain metals that are expensive and harmful to produce. With recycling, we help reduce environmental damage.

Many small appliances also contain chemicals that can break down in landfills, releasing harmful gases and toxins into the air, soil, and water supply.

In some communities, recycling small appliances is required by law. Even if it’s not mandatory, recycling these items is always the responsible choice to protect the environment.

Most household appliances can be recycled, including the appliances listed on this page. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? can help you recycle your air conditioner units, dishwashers, washer/dryer machines, and more!

Larger appliances are typically broken down into scrap metal, which is separated, melted down, and recycled for use in manufacturing. Smaller appliances often contain recyclable materials and can be placed in local blue bins, though rules can vary by location.
