James Island Appliance Repair Man with Aviv Service Today Explains How to Recycle old Appliances

Owners should contact their local utility company to see if they offer an energy incentive program for recycling old appliances

 

 James Island – The James Island appliance repair technicians are often asked for advice about recycling an old appliance when they are informed that it is not worth fixing. Many think it is a shame to throw it out when there could be so many useable parts. Besides being wasteful, the landfills are already over flowing with rubbish.

When a broken appliance requires an expensive repair, most of the cost is labor charges, sometimes the owner will choose to buy a new one and sell or give away the old one. 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 Ofer Hubara, a local appliance repair man and owner of Aviv Service Today (www.appliancerepairjamesisland.blogspot.com/), most communities have their own procedures for disposing of 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 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 service technician has a final tip 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.
