Refrigerator Recycling & Disposal

Refrigerators are an integral part of the modern home. Since the late 1800s, the refrigerator has served as cold food storage for households. Over the next century, manufacturers researched ways to make their units more efficient. The modern refrigerator is one of the most efficient ever manufactured, operating on one or two kilowatts per day. The early 19^th-century models were never close to being this efficient. Fortunately for homeowners, refrigerators can operate 24/7 on minimal power.

The average life of a modern refrigerator is 10 years. Regular maintenance can increase the service life to 12, 15, or 20 years in residential settings.
