*Important* About Home Appliances Recycling Law

Residential air conditioning, television, refrigerator, washing and drying machines are appliances determined to be recycled based on legislation. When there is the need to dispose one of these items, make a request for a home appliance shop or to the collection service available in the region you reside. There is a fee for collection, transport and recycling of home appliances. It is necessary to be aware about some companies advertising about free collection because among these ones, most of them are not allowed to work and may be adding to illegal waste disposal as well as to natural environment damage. If you have any question about the way to dispose home appliances, contact the department in charge in your city or municipality.
