The Importance of Refrigerator Recycling
Taking steps to properly dispose of your old refrigerator is important because it contains harmful chemicals that can damage the environment. You know a landfill is no place for your unwanted fridge, so what options do you have? Let Express Junk Removal Services take care of your refrigerator recycling and we will ensure that it is donated or disposed of responsibly.
As major appliances, refrigerators and freezers are made with many electrical and chemical components. They don't stay cold by themselves, they use a refrigerant called freon to keep temperatures at an acceptable level. As important as this is when the fridge is in your home, it can be equally vital to consider upon disposal. Models built before 1990 usually contain an earlier version of freon called R-12 which is exceptionally toxic and depletes the ozone layer. Nowadays, freon (also known as tetrafluoroethane) does not contain ozone depleting substances (ODS) and modern day fridges are significantly more energy efficient than the older models. But all of those chemicals are also potent greenhouse gases (GHGs) that contribute to climate change when emitted into the atmosphere.
With refrigerator recycling, the harmful chemicals get properly disposed of and any reusable materials such as the metal also get recycled. Both prevent unnecessary harm to humans, animals, or plant life. When you call Express Junk Removal Services, you can feel good about helping the environment during your fridge removal.
