24 Sep 2020 Waste Disposal

If your old home appliances have broken down or you are simply ready to replace them with newer, more energy-efficient models, it is useful to know what to do with old appliances. There are many ways to dispose of used appliances, and the team at Onestop Disposal is always ready to help get these heavy fixtures out of your home.

How to Get Rid of Old Home Appliances

If you are looking for eco-friendly solutions to dispose of your old appliances, the team at Onestop Disposal can help. We offer comprehensive junk removal services that can help spare you effort, time, and money. Some of the best ways to get rid of old appliances include:

1.     Call a Junk Removal Company

The best way to get rid of an old appliance is to call a junk disposal company to have it removed from your home and recycled properly. By calling junk removers, you will receive the benefits of having a responsible, capable team operating to remove heavy, awkward items from your home. You can also be sure that your old appliance will be recycled responsibly, and you will save yourself from needing to source a truck for a visit to the recycling depot.

2.     Donate to a Charity

Many charitable organizations will accept appliances as donations. Make sure that the appliance works before donating it, as most charities do not have the resources to repair broken appliances.

3.     Recycle the Old Appliance

If the appliance no longer works, you should recycle it. Get a friend to help you move the old appliance into a truck and take the appliance to the recycling depot. Most appliances can be left at a recycling depot for no charge, depending on where you are located.

4.     Sell the Appliance

If the appliance is worth selling, you may be able to find a buyer on a bidding website or forum. This can be a great way to recoup some of the cost of a new appliance replacement, but it can be frustrating and time consuming to deal with the hassle of selling an appliance.
