Why Recycle Your Appliances?

There are many reasons why you should recycle your electronic appliances. Some of them are:

• To protect the ozone layer: Cooling appliances, such as air conditioners, rely on the cooling agent Freon to work properly. Even after the appliance is disposed of, this material tends to remain in the system and can potentially leak out into the atmosphere & damage the ozone layer. This is why it is extremely important to recycle old appliances to prevent these harsh chemicals from damaging our planet.
• Save money: If you chose to dispose of old appliances at your local landfill, you will have to pay a disposal fee but if you were to recycle old appliances, you won’t have to pay a disposal fee and might even make a little money.
• Recovery of scrap material: Most appliances and electronic devices are made of a substantial amount of steel, aluminum and other metals that can be reused in the future. This reduces the need to carry out mining for new metals. It’s high time we reclaim as much recyclable metals as possible from existing machinery for future use.
• Prevents environmental problems:  When appliances are disposed of incorrectly, metals will decompose and penetrate the soil, leading to lead and iron contaminating the groundwater.

How Can I Dispose of Household Appliances?

In order to dispose of household appliances, you must first look at their condition. If they are in decent and working condition, consider donating them to a charity. You can also recycle your appliances and send them to a local transfer station that will use them as scrap metal. This process can also be followed in order to dispose of old refrigerators. For old microwaves, you can either consider donation or recycling. The latter will, however, require an agency to break down your microwave into its component parts.
