When it is time to replace your old household appliances, disposing of them responsibly is essential for protecting the environment. At SMS Appliances, we are committed to keeping reusable and recyclable materials out of local landfills. Our eco-friendly appliance recycling program provides Calgary residents with a convenient, safe, and environmentally responsible way to retire old, broken, or outdated home appliances.
Why Recycle Your Old Appliances?
Major appliances contain valuable recyclable components as well as hazardous substances that require specialized handling. Recycling your old units ensures:
Safe Refrigerant Recovery: Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners contain chemical refrigerants and harmful gases that must be safely evacuated and contained to prevent ozone depletion and greenhouse emissions.
Metal Recovery & Reuse: Appliances are rich in valuable metals such as steel, copper, aluminum, and brass that can be melted down and repurposed, reducing the need for raw resource mining.
Safe Processing of Electronics: Circuit boards, wiring, switches, and electronic displays are isolated and processed in compliance with e-waste disposal standards.
Compressor & Motor Recycling: Heavy mechanical components, including electric motors and compressors, are carefully dismantled and salvaged for raw materials.
