What Happens to Your Old Appliances and Furniture
Appliances like fridges and air conditioners contain refrigerants that must be safely recovered before recycling — this is handled according to provincial environmental regulations, not just tossed in a truck.
Furniture in good condition is set aside for donation partners; anything too worn for reuse is broken down for material recycling (metal frames, foam, fabric) wherever local recycling infrastructure allows.
- Refrigerant recovery for fridges, freezers and A/C units
- Metal recycling for appliance frames and parts
- Donation routing for furniture in usable condition
- Single-item pickups welcome — no minimum load required
♻️ Pro Tip
Booking appliance pickup for the same day as your new delivery means you’re never stuck storing the old one in the garage ‘temporarily.’
