Appliance Recycling

Would you consider yourself an appliance recycler? When you update your appliances to new models, what do you do with the old units? If you just put them out on the curb to be picked up with the rest of your garbage, chances are those appliances are ending up in a landfill and not at a recycling facility.

There are plenty of good reasons to be an appliance recycler, especially if you’re concerned about energy conservation. In fact, if saving energy is a priority of yours then one of the best things you can do update your appliances. For example, if you have a refrigerator or freezer that’s more than 25 years old, it’s consuming an average of 1,500 kilowatt hours per year.

By comparison, if you upgraded to a new unit you would be consuming 400 to 500 kilowatt hours per year. Being an appliance recycler and disposing of your old unit properly would free up energy for other uses and lessen your overall energy demand. Replacing your appliances with more energy efficient models can reduce your energy costs by hundreds of dollars a year. When you think about it — a new appliance will actually pay for itself in just a few years.

Let’s get back to the topic of recycling now, and why you really want to become an appliance recycler rather than throwing away those old appliances. Old appliances are no friend to the environment. For instance, refrigerators and freezers built before 1995 contain a gas called CFC-11 that depletes the ozone layer and contributes to global warming. As a result, when those old appliances are disposed of in landfills they contribute significant amounts of CO2 to the environment.

When you take on the role of an appliance recycler you’re ensuring that over 95% of the materials inside your old appliances are either recycled or eliminated in an environmentally responsible way. You might be amazed to know that recycling just one refrigerator is the equivalent of taking two cars off the road for one year, in terms of the amount of CO2 you’re preventing from entering the atmosphere.

Now that you’re sold on the idea of being an appliance recycler, let’s discuss how you can go about doing that. If you’re all about saving money and helping the environment, but are more excited by the idea of doing taxes than hauling heaving appliances out to the recycling facility, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered.
