Safe Recovery and Disposal of Synthetic Refrigerants In Domestic Fridges and Freezers
If you’re replacing an old refrigerator or freezer, it’s important to properly dispose of the old unit to prevent harm to the environment and comply with regulations. Our experienced team are now offering refrigerant recovery services Auckland wide. If you drop off your old refrigerator or freezer to us we will safely degas and dispose of the item for $30. Each month our licensed team collects hazardous and high potential global warming refrigerants in approved cylinders that are sent off for destruction through the cool safe recovery program . We also are expanding the service to cover the domestic appliance industry and have teamed up with one of the largest retail chains as well as Auckland council to de gas and decommission of all their old fridges that get returned as part of the sales process of new units . Don’t simply cut the pipes and release the gas, do the right thing and bring them to us for proper disposal.
The first step in disposing of an old refrigerator or freezer is to find a qualified and licensed technician like us here at Appliance Recycling who can properly de-gas with the use of portable refrigerant recovery machines and equipment. Attempting to de-gas an old unit yourself can be dangerous, is not recommended and is now illegal in NZ.
