How to Dispose of Old Appliances in Orlando, FL
Replacing kitchen or laundry appliances? Old washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, and water heaters need proper disposal. Orlando has several options ranging from free recycling programs to convenient dumpster rental for large-scale appliance cleanouts.
Appliances That Don't Contain Refrigerant
Washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, microwaves, and water heaters can be disposed of without special freon considerations. These are essentially scrap metal with some plastic components. Options include bulk pickup through Orange County, scrap metal yards (which may pay you for the metal), donation if working, or dumpster rental for multiple units.
Appliances That Contain Refrigerant
Refrigerators, freezers, window AC units, and dehumidifiers contain refrigerant that must be professionally removed before disposal. See our refrigerator disposal guide for details. Never put a freon-containing appliance in a dumpster without prior certified evacuation.
Scrap Metal Value
Old appliances contain valuable metals. A washer or dryer can yield $8-$15 at a scrap yard. Water heaters with copper elements are worth more. If you have multiple appliances, the scrap value can offset transportation costs. Local Orlando scrap yards include SA Recycling and Trademark Metals Recycling.
Dumpster Rental for Multiple Appliances
Property managers replacing appliances across multiple units, contractors doing kitchen renovations, and homeowners doing whole-house upgrades benefit from dumpster rental. Load all old appliances (freon-free) into one container along with renovation debris, old cabinets, and other materials. If you have large amounts to dispose of, renting a dumpster is the easiest and most cost-effective option.
