Like most major appliances, there are many components to a refrigerator. The chemical that keeps a refrigerator cold is called Freon. Models built before 1990 usually contain an especially toxic version of Freon called R-12. Today’s refrigerators are much safer and more energy efficient but still must be treated with care upon disposal. In addition to taking care of the harmful chemicals, it is possible that some of the reusable materials in a refrigerator (such as metal and plastic) be recycled. By recycling these materials, it can keep them out of the landfills and may prevent other material from needing to be produced. Call us at (505) 570 4605 today.
