How to dispose of old frig?

[adonh]

I need dispose of my old RV propane/electric frig. I have been told that I will need to drain the ammonia. How do you do that?

I am so glad that u asked that....we are taking out our old fridge this weekend and did not know what to do with it either. Hopefully somone out there will give us both a good answer.

We took ours to the city landfill, which has an area just for appliances. They charged $5.00 for the disposal and have a company that comes and dismantles them, and preps them for recycle.

Good luck on your project. Here are some pictures of removing mine from my 1976 Sovereign. There are a lot of screws but once they are out you should be able to move it. I put mine on a 2 wheel dolly and strapped it down. Then I rolled it out the door.

Ah, if those fridges are not leaking ammonia, you may be able to give them to one or another of the forum members.

I have offered to give my frig free of cost to anyone on the forum who wants it and lives within driving distance of Houston, TX. So for no takers. It works fine on both propane and elect and still looks good. I can't ship it, iit would need to be picked up.

if anyone is wanting the fridge once it is out---just send a pm. If not it is going to the dump.

Here’s my story How do you dispose of an old fridge?.

Don, looking forward to seeing you at the rally. I will just love getting all those frig parts. My frig is already smilling. Thanks for going to all the trouble and bringing them to me at the Rally. See Ya Soon!

I was finally able to get rid what was left of the old frig and my two old Henschen axles. I could not find a scrap yard that would take the stuff so I had 1-800-got junk haul them off for $139.

we have a nearby metal recycling center (scrap-all) that pays you for old appliances. google it in your area

The Dump is the best place to get rid of stuff, But living in the country like I do. I was digging down from my pond to put in some Irrigation pipes and found and old dump hole from previous owners. Dryer, fringe, microwave, tire rims..... that was just near the top of the hole. I didn't dig it all up.

This is not the recommended method for disposal.......
