Why Recycle Your Appliances?
While turning your old appliances into money in your pocket is often the biggest motivator for metal salvaging these items, a few other benefits make it worthwhile!
For instance, when appliances are improperly disposed of in landfills, not only are you paying to get rid of the item, but these machines may also release toxic chemicals into the soil. By taking your appliances to a metal salvager like McSteel, our team can recover valuable materials and prevent damaging environmental effects. At the same time, we will pay you to recycle your old washer or dryer!
Another benefit of appliance metal salvaging is that you are helping to conserve natural resources used in manufacturing. Many appliances contain copper, aluminum, and even rare earth metals, and extracting these resources for manufacturing contributes to environmental damage such as climate change and habitat destruction. By recycling your old appliances with McSteel Salvage & Cleanup, we can reduce the demand for these raw materials and minimize the environmental damage caused by extraction.
So, if you want to help make Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories a greener place to call home while also taking home a few extra bucks, bring your appliances and scrap metal to McSteel!
Considerations for Appliance Salvaging
Now, if you have some old appliances that take up valuable space in your home or property, you can bring them to McSteel to be salvaged. When handing appliances over for metal salvaging, it’s handy to know that larger items such as dishwashers, washing machines, and stoves are typically worth more. These pieces usually contain more metal than smaller household items like microwave ovens, making them a more profitable option for metal salvaging.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you’re planning to bring a dishwasher or washing machine to McSteel Salvage & Cleanup, it’s important to drain the water in these machines ahead of time. Not only will this make transporting these items to our metal salvaging yards easier, but it also helps our crews with the dismantling process. And if your appliances used freon, don’t worry! McSteel’s teams are equipped to handle freon disposals safely and efficiently.
