White Goods (Appliances)

Many residents of the MMSWMD still have difficulty disposing of white goods (major appliances), refrigerants, and PCBs.  Besides the problem of illegal appliance disposal in roadside dumps, an added concern is that refrigerant gasses may be released to the atmosphere due to improper disposal.  Appliance recycling continues to be a targeted area for service improvement for MMSWMD.

 “A Guide to Recycling in Mid-Missouri” lists outlets within the MMSWMD area where white goods can be recycled; go to page 7 where major appliances are listed.  Many trash services provides bulky item pickup and will recycle your large appliance (see Recycle Guide).
