Refrigerator Removal in Copake, New York

Many appliance retailers will pick up and recycle your old fridge or freezer when you purchase a new one. Ask your retailer for assurance that the old unit will be properly recycled and not re-sold as an inefficient, second-hand unit. Some retailers or manufacturers also offer cash rebates when you buy a new fridge.

Search online for licensed scrap metal dealers in your area. Many will collect large appliances free of charge. Some may even offer a small payment for your fridge freezer. Always check they have proper licensing for handling refrigeration appliances. Ask how they'll dispose of the refrigerant gases.

With a broken mini-fridge, you should recycle it responsibly by contacting local scrap yards, utility companies, or junk haulers for proper refrigerant removal, or upcycle it into storage/cooler ; never just toss it in the trash due to hazardous materials. Options include finding appliance recycling programs, using junk removal services, or giving it to scrap dealers who can handle the chemicals safely.

To dispose of a microwave in NYC, put it out with your regular trash as a large item on your trash day (not recycling day) if it's broken, or recycle it through DSNY's e-waste events, building programs like e-cycleNYC, or by dropping it off at retailers like Best Buy or electronics recycling centers, especially if it's still working. Remember microwaves contain hazardous materials, so responsible disposal is key.
