What happens to your appliance after pickup
Appliances are recycled at licensed facilities that specialize in handling refrigerants, compressor oils, and heavy metals. Refrigerators and freezers undergo certified Freon recovery before processing — the $25 recycling fee covers this. Steel, copper, aluminum, and other metals are separated and sent to scrap processors. Compressors, motors, and wiring are individually processed. Appliances in working condition may be refurbished and resold or donated to organizations like Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
