Recycling appliances is a great way to go green and preserve the environment
Pinewood AZ – The Pinewood appliance repair man is often asked what to do with an old appliance when it is not worth fixing. With the trend to go green people think it is a shame to throw appliances away when there could be many useable parts. Besides being wasteful, they take up a large space in already over-full landfills. Recycling appliances seems to be a more sensible option.When a broken appliance requires an expensive repair, most of the cost is labor charges, so the owner will choose to buy a new one. If this is the best economical choice then one should consider recycling the old appliance. One option is to see if there is a used appliance store in the area that will refurbish and resell it. If they cannot fix it they might be able to recycle many of the parts thus reducing waste and saving precious limited resources.
According to the local appliance repair man, most communities have their own procedures for disposing of and recycling old appliances. Owners should call their department of public works and ask about the collection and recycling of appliances in the area.
The refrigerator repair man with Appliance Service Today (www.applianceservicetoday.com/) warns residents about putting the unit out to the street. Before throwing out an old refrigerator, a certified technician must be called to remove and dispose of the refrigerant. Owners should also remove the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside.
The local appliance repair man suggests another idea for people who need to purchase new appliances. Owners should contact their local utility company to see if they offer an energy incentive program. Chances are they will collect and recycle old appliances. Some utility providers offer rebates or discounts for purchasing Energy Star Rated appliances.
