Recycling your appliances has countless benefits for the environment, such as:

​

• Reduction of mining resources: Most appliances contain various minerals and metallic components. Recycling them reduces the need to produce more such minerals, which conserves the earth's resources.
   

• Reduction of landfills: Appliances that are discarded but not recycled end up in landfills. They contain harmful chemicals and other impurities which further pollute the environment. Recycling minimizes their presence in landfills.
   

• Protection of human health: The harmful chemicals present in appliances can leech into the soil, water and air when they're not recycled. Exposure to these chemicals can cause adverse health effects in humans.

​

 Disposing of items such as refrigerators, stoves and washing machines in landfills can have a huge negative impact on the environment. We make recycling easy and best of all, FREE! Please contact us if you'd like to enlist our help to recycle your used appliances.
