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.

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.
