What do I do with appliances like washers and dryers?
Most landfills, transfer stations and municipal recycling depots accept large appliances for recycling. If the items are in working condition, there may be someone in your community who is interested in reusing the appliance or salvaging it for parts depending on its age and condition. There may also be several scrap metal companies who will accept the appliances for the metal. Call the RCBC Recycling Hotline for options to recycle the appliance, or post it on the RCBC Materials Exchange www.bc.reuses.com.
To find a drop-off depot for your old appliance visit the RCBC Recyclepedia.
