| Refrigerators in Transfer Station's scrap metal drop-off area |
Has your refrigerator stopped chilling? Your dehumidifier stopped removing humidity? Your air conditioner stopped keeping you cool?
We accept these large appliances -- and more -- as scrap metal for recycling.
If you receive recycling service from Montgomery County, you may request a curbside scrap metal collection for your no-longer-needed or no-longer-working appliances.
We also accept scrap metal directly at our Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station.
If your large appliances contain refrigerants, you do not need to remove the them before you set the appliances out for curbside collection or deliver them to us.We have a contractor who comes by to remove refrigerants.
When you bring refrigerant-containing items to us, here are two important tips from the Transfer Station staff:
- Please take care in unloading them so that you avoid breaking open the cooling system.
- Drop them off in the first scrap metal bay (where you see refrigerators organized in an orderly line), and not in the bays where all of the metal is just in a pile
