Container Recycling – Tips on Recycling

Recycling isn’t just for paper, plastics, aluminums, glasses, and various metal. I know that’s what comes to most of our minds. But you can also recycle appliances that include heating, ventilation and air conditioners. You must dispose of these safely as these pieces of equipment can contain hazardous chemicals. I will list ways below on how to safely get rid of old ac equipment you need to get rid of.

#1: Take To A Landfill/Dump

Most of the time it’s not a good idea for HVAC units to end up in a landfill or dump with some chemicals still in the unit as these can be released into the air and contribute to gas emissions. Think about calling a local landfill or public facility to get clarification/approval. You may have to dump or empty the coolant before dumping the equipment.

#2: Re-Sale The Unit

One other option is to resell or donate the unit to a charity or give to a goodwill type store. If the unit still works you can make a little money reselling it. Craigslist or Ebay might be good options. You could even advertise in your local classified ads. This is what many people do when it’s time to replace one for a better, more efficient HVAC unit.

#3 You Can Get A Rebate

Many HVAC companies will offer a rebate program of some sorts where they will actually buy back your old unit. Ultimately i have to believe that this is the best option when your getting rid of your unit. Wenatchee HVAC is a company that does this for people in their service area. You can see more info on their Air Conditioning services webpage.

Hopefully these tips will get you in the right direction when looking for a safe way to dispose of your HVAC unit. And remember if your in doubt call a local public service company to help you.

Today i talked with Dale. Owner of Boyer Mountain Door & Pool. He has over 20 years experience working with pool construction. If you tear down an old pool you’d be surprised  how many things can be recycled for reuse.

A  pool replacement doesn’t have to mean adding to the landfill trash pile, many items that are no longer needed can be repurposed. You can even make some spare cash!

Post your materials on sites like Craigslist or Ebay.

Here’s some of the various items that may no longer be useful to you that you can still recycle for the well being of our earth.

Here’s a list of what can be recycled from your pool:

• Vinyl
• Metals
• Fiberglass
• Pool Chemicals
• PVC
• ABS
• & More

So that gives you an idea of what you can save when you decide to remove your old pool. If your looking for a great pool contractor visit http://boyermountaindoorandpool.com 

Recycling isn’t just something we do to comply with local laws; it’s something that we do because we know it can make a positive impact moving forward.

A positive impact that, if done correctly, could allow future generations to live in a safer and cleaner environment.

When I was younger, my dad and I did something that at the time seemed normal. I didn’t really think anything of it until I got older.

Every Saturday, we would get in my dad’s truck and drive down to the local dump. We didn’t live in a large city, so luckily this wasn’t a major landfill, but a smaller trash collection area on the outside of town.

We would show up around 6:30AM, along with around 25 other volunteers.

We would wade through the town’s garbage from that week, looking for something very specific. Something very valuable.

And we weren’t looking to keep the items we found, we were looking to give them away.

The “valuable” items we were looking for?

Plastic toys.

The thing is, the majority of the plastic-based toys that were thrown away into the city dump were almost always reusable. On the other hand, it was also a pollution hazard for some of the plastic toys that were thrown away to be left in the city dump for too long, allowing them to possibly blow away with the wind and end up in our nearby bay.

It made sense for us to comb through the garbage, find plastic toys and other items that were likely to end up in our bay, and then gently refurbish them for the local orphanages and after-school programs in our city.

To the children we gave the like-new toys to, the toys were like treasure. Very valuable, indeed.

Now that I’m an adult with my own son, I’ve tried to find ways to carry on the tradition of caring deeply for our environment. I now run a roofing company in South Texas. You can see our website here: http://www.roofingcorpuschristi.net – We always make sure to recycle and prevent pollution in any way possible.

Moving into the new year, we’ve decided to take any spare lumber and roofing materials to local charities that need help building furniture for the organizations, or need materials to build beds for our local homeless shelters.

It’s good to know that a tradition that was started nearly 30 years ago can still be carried out today through one simple act – recycling.
