How to Dispose of Large Appliances in San Antonio, TX
Washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, and water heaters contain metal and sometimes hazardous components that keep them out of the regular trash. Here's how to responsibly dispose of large appliances in San Antonio.
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1
Disconnect safely
Unplug the appliance and shut off water or gas supply lines. For gas dryers or stoves, use a licensed disconnection if you're not comfortable with the shutoff valve.
- 2
Drain any liquid
Drain water heaters and dishwasher lines outside before loading to avoid leaks in transit.
- 3
Keep metal out of the landfill
Most large appliances are over 70% recyclable metal. A hauler who delivers them to a metal recycler keeps that value out of a landfill.
