How to Easily Dispose of Old Appliances in Your Home — Pearland, TX
When your refrigerator wheezes its last breath or your washer finally calls it quits, it can be hard to know what to do next. Large appliances are heavy, awkward and often contain refrigerants and other hazardous materials that can’t simply be tossed in the trash. In Pearland, you have options to safely and responsibly get rid of old appliances while protecting yourself and the environment.
Why Proper Appliance Disposal Matters
- Safety First: Refrigerants, oils, mercury switches and other chemicals can leak if appliances are dismantled incorrectly. Mishandling heavy appliances also causes injuries and property damage.
- Environmental Regulations: Federal and Texas laws require that refrigerants and other hazardous substances be captured before recycling or disposal. Dumping appliances illegally harms our community and carries fines.
- Resource Conservation: Appliances are full of metals and components that can be reclaimed and reused. Recycling reduces the need to mine raw materials and keeps Pearland green.
