It turns out that to get rid of old refrigerator not so easy. And it's not even the fact that his removal from home will need at least a couple of strong men. The law "On Environmental Protection" requires to carry out disposal of household appliances only for the dustbin - store them in places for the collection of household waste is strictly forbidden.
What to do with unwanted fridge?
The most favorable option - is to sell defective or obsolete unit. In the first case, you can try to gain a purely symbolic amount, giving the technique on analysis of the workshop. Employees themselves will make the refrigerator and take it to him. Sometimes the payment is considered to be the service itself on export, so that stipulate this point in advance. If you have chosen the model is more modern and the old refrigerator does not want to break, it can be sold already more expensive as the b / y, giving a simple ad or throwing cry for friends.
Also, with the export problem is easily solved when your city has a large hardware store, the proposed exchange of shares. Simply put, network staff will approach to your house and take the old refrigerator and you will return to buy in the same outlet with a new delicious discount. True, the timing of such actions to coincide with the emergence of such a need in your family. The only pity is super suggestions concerning exactly refrigerators, more frequent in winter, but not in the summer, when the failure of this technique requires immediate action.
Participating in the exchange of shares of the old technology to the new, pay attention to the special conditions of the store. Usually, the discount is only available for a limited range, which is not the most urgent.
More or less than a budget option - take unnecessary refrigerator to the country and there use it as a closet, insulated the glacier or to find him still of any use on the site. But this requires, first, a private cottage, and secondly, the machine with sufficient capacity, which is no longer free. There are other pitfalls - the same design of a special permit, because the faulty equipment air gradually poisons and poison freon destroys the ozone layer is many times faster carbon gas.
Paid services
In fact, the problem can be solved much faster and easier. Even in small towns on the periphery there is a firm, which is engaged in recycling and has all the necessary permits, transport, movers. Although it is not entirely free export of refrigerators, professional fees should not so much money - about 2-2,5 thousand.
Old equipment is not simply transported to the landfill and dispose of, ie its parts are other ways to apply:
- The same freon, if it is left in the paths, pumped and can be used for charging other units.
- Nonferrous metal and plastic are recycled.
- Pressed steel body and sent to the facility.
If money is very, very sorry, we can first talk with his management company, and then to the office that deals with garbage disposal in your neighborhood. Perhaps there have heard of civilized disposal and can offer a solution. But if not, how any Russian person, 'work' all workarounds, you will only go down the path laid down by law.
