Don’t Trash Old Appliances – Recycle Them! E-mail
old-refrigerator.pngDon’t trash your old refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, and other household appliances.  Placing these items on the curb may send them to a landfill!

The Summit/Akron Solid Waste Management Authority (SASWMA) is sponsoring the annual Appliance Recycling promotion for Summit County. Last April, Summit County residents recycled 1,390 tons of white goods; this represents 13,900 unwanted refrigerators, washers, dryers and stoves.

Old appliances can be dropped off, at no charge, at City Scrap and Salvage (611 W. Wilbeth Road, Akron: 330-753-5051). Freon will be removed and the appliances will be recycled.

Several communities, such as the Cities of Akron, Barberton, Cuyahoga Falls, and Green offer appliance-recycling pick up from the curb that is included in their waste disposal/recycling fees.

"Appliances and metals can be recycled all year round.  During the month of April, these companies join SASWMA in promoting appliance recycling to Summit County residents,” states Executive Director Yolanda Walker. "This cooperative environmental effort works toward SASWMA’s mission of reducing waste in landfills and providing materials for local recycling markets."
