Appliances may be a pain to dispose of, but many contain hazardous materials, so they need to be disposed of properly. Discarded appliances are second only to automobiles as a source of recycled metals.

Minnesota law requires that all major appliances be either reused or recycled -- it's illegal to put them with your garbage.

Major appliances include:
  • Air conditioners
  • Clothes washers and dryers
  • Dehumidifiers
  • Dishwashers
  • Freezers
  • Furnaces
  • Garbage disposals
  • Heat pumps
  • Microwave ovens
  • Ovens
  • Refrigerators
  • Stoves/Ranges
  • Trash compactors
  • Water heaters

Reuse Tips

  • If your appliance is still in working condition, consider posting it online on a site such as craigslist.org to connect with someone who could use it.
  • Contact a local charity to ask about donating your used, functioning appliances. For a list, refer to the yellow pages under "charities".

Recycling & Disposal Information

When disposing of refrigerators and freezers, be sure to disable all doors to keep children or animals from getting trapped inside. This can be done by removing the door or inside seal, or by bending the hinges so the door no longer closes.

See the Disposal & Drop-off Sites page for information about appliance recycling options in your area.
