Junk Removal Bountiful
Whether you renovate your kitchen or eliminate a stove from the 1970s, getting rid of large appliances is tricky. Where to take them? Some people try setting up an old dishwasher or washing the machine with a trash bin, hoping that the people who pass by with a big truck will "help themselves" to electrical appliances. If this method fails, there are other options to choose from and it is very little you can buy from anywhere.
Delivered to home and delivered.
If you are installing a new device, chances Junk Removal Bountiful is the company
that installs the old appliance will take your old device for a small fee. (Or
sometimes free). Ask when buying if your reseller offers this service.
Craigslist.org
Old electrical appliances are still worth a few dollars,
especially if there are university students who need a cheap washing machine or
tumble dryer. Electronics are a hot item on Craigslist and sell quite fast as
long as they're working and have all their parts. Try posting your old device
on Craigslist on Saturday morning and stating in your ad that buyers will be
responsible for shipping the item. If the burden of ownership is greater than
trying to sell, try posting a listing in the "free" section of Craigslist.
Even if your device is no longer working, there is a chance that others will be
able to use the parts.
Freecycle.org
Similar to Craigslist freecycle is a community-specific
list. All services are free. Browse all "wanted" posts before sharing
your "proposal", as someone might have posted a device request that
you are trying to eliminate.
Reward program (For refrigerators and freezers)
If you are disposed of refrigerators or freezers manufactured
before 1995, it may contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) refrigerants, which are
EPA ozone-depleting substances. If released in the environment, CFC
refrigerants can be harmful to The ozone layer and contribute to climate change
around the world
To help and support the general public to safely get rid of their
old refrigerators and freezers, there is a favorite program in many states. Favor
programs will pay "prize money" for inefficient old appliances.
Contact the state electric utility program. (A part of a regulatory
organization known as the Public Utilities Commission) to see if there are
favorite programs near you.
Army
Giving your large appliances to charity is a great way to
