Are the appliances I leave on the curb recycled in accordance with regulations?
Unfortunately, no. Appliances put out on the curb are usually scrapped without properly removing refrigerants. Those gases, in addition to other hazardous materials such as the oils, are then released into the environment.
While some recyclers and refrigeration specialists remove gases from the lines, they do not have the technology to remove the refrigerant from the foam insulation of household appliances. Only GoRecycle offers a full and free degassing and recycling service that complies with Quebec regulations.
Why is recycling cooling appliances with GoRecycle important?
On average, when a cooling appliance such as a refrigerator or air conditioner is put out on the curb or sent to a metal recycling facility that does not recover the refrigerant gases and remove hazardous components, about one ton of greenhouse gas is released into the environment.
As we fight climate change, it is imperative to ensure appliances are recycled responsibly. That’s why GoRecycle has implemented drop-off points throughout the province and recycling services that comply with regulatory requirements. Only GoRecycle offers this service for free in Quebec.
