ASAP Appliance Repair Dana Point
Suggests Ways to Recycle old Appliances
Recycling old appliances is almost always the best option for many reasons including protecting the planet and conserving valuable resources
Dana Point CA – Appliance service technicians with ASAP Appliance Repair are often asked what to do with an old appliance when it is not worth fixing. Many of their customers think it is a shame to throw it out when there are so many useable parts. Besides being wasteful, the landfills are already over-full and they just don’t need any more old appliances.
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 it weren’t for the high cost of labor many people might decide to save the 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 doing the environment a favor by reducing waste and saving precious limited resources.
According to the local appliance repair man, 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.
ASAP Appliance Service technicians suggest one more idea for people who are going to be buying new appliances. They can 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.
Maintenance is the best way to save money by preventing breakdown, improving efficiency and extending the life of the appliance. ASAP updates their website often with tips to get more from home appliances. Visit http://www.applianceservicesanclemente.com/ to learn more.
