You May Be Surprised At The Type Of Appliance Pickup Glens Falls NY Homeowners Have Access To

By Kathleen West


When you are faced with an appliance or two that is no longer working, you have some trouble on your hands if not prepared. You do not want to have them cluttering up your house or yard. They have stopped working and they can actually be dangerous sitting there where some kids can get to them. This is the time to call someone who can perform that appliance pickup Glens Falls NY homeowners depend on.

One of the things you might be aware of is that there are many parts in these units that still work. The timers, for instance, are fairly expensive if you need one to repair a dryer that exhibits this problem. There are those who will pick up your broken dryer just to get at that timer. They will be able to sell it to someone else, along with a service charge for fixing that dryer.

As you look for someone to take your clutter, in the form of broken machines, away, check with some of the appliance sales and service stores. It is in the name. They want to sell these units but they also must fix the older ones that others have already purchased. You may find that they might6 just pay you a small amount for these units to keep a stock of parts for the older ones they have to fix from time to time.

Handymen are also another source of free pickup. They often are called upon to repair these units. They will need to have a few parts available. They also know which parts are needed more than others. You can find these handy folks in the phone directories.

Something to think about is the older versions of coolant known as Freon. This has been declared dangerous to be placed in many landfills. Many companies that deal in picking up these items will not deal with these that contain this. There are many, however, who are licensed for this so a talk about this will help you understand which ones can help you.

Another company or groups, called scrappers, will often offer to remove these items and sell them to scrap yards for salvage prices. They will often pick up any recyclables you have either then or in the future. These items are sold by the pound or ton and they may actually offer some of that to you if you catch them on the right day.

Some of the scrappers will take the appliances apart and remove all of the nonmagnetic metal from the frames. This makes these units more valuable for them. They sell the tin and sell for one price and the aluminum and copper for different, higher, prices. Many of these people will not travel very far for some appliances, so they will want to know what, exactly you have before they will commit to the trip.

Whether you help one company maintain a stock of slightly used parts or another company with money from a scrap yard, you can get rid of those things that no longer work. If you are not yet ready to turn all of your dead appliances into planters, these are the ways to go. Many home owners are in the same boat, so join the club and give a call to someone who is in business to help you get rid of those clunky things.
