What Should I do with my Old Appliance?
admin2022-09-07T01:56:09+00:00Appliances like refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners (both facility air conditioners and motor vehicle air conditioners) contain refrigerant gases known collectively as freon. If mismanaged, these refrigerants can cause harm to the environment. For this reason, improper release of refrigerant gases is illegal and subject to large fines. The good news is that Colorado Industrial Recycling and many other recyclers are fully capable of ethically recycling appliances with refrigerants. That said, not all recyclers act responsibly. The conscientious consumer should take care to vet the recycler they choose to support.
