When Is It Time to Get Rid of Your Old Washer and Dryer?

​Most of us are hesitant to replace appliances that are still functional and performing their duty. We get it. Replacing appliances can be costly…but so can keeping an inefficient one in use.

Today’s technology is light years ahead of your 5–10-year-old washer and dryer. They require significantly less energy to produce better results for you and your family.

Not only that, ‘smart’ features on new appliances can save you time and frustration while making daily chores a breeze.

That might make now a great time to upgrade. But in case you’re still on the fence, below are a few quick tips that could sway your decision.

When to Get Rid of Your Washer and Dryer:

It is past the manufacturer’s warranty.

It is 8-10+ years old.

The appliances have required one or more repairs.

As compared to new appliances, the energy rating is significantly worse.

The units are displaying signs of wear such as loud or odd noises, malfunctioning cycles, and broken displays.

The dryer no longer gets as hot, or it takes longer to dry clothes.

Given that these machines are necessary for daily life, the best time to dispose of old appliances is not after they break down.

Taking a proactive approach to replacement and upgrading can spare you a massive headache and wrench in your daily routine. Even just a few days without the use of these appliances can be a major inconvenience for a family.

But when you’re ready to dispose of them…how should you do it?

How to Get Rid of a Washer and Dryer Properly

Before the excitement of a new washer and dryer wears off, you’re hit with a major dilemma. How do I properly get rid of your old washing machine and dryer? Unfortunately, most municipalities refuse services and won’t pick up large items like that.

The good news is that you have plenty of other options for getting rid of junk appliances. Let’s take a look at a few ways you can explore to get rid of your old appliances without taking them to the landfill.

1. Take Your Washer and Dryer to a Recycling Center

Today, we’re all aware of our carbon footprints and their impact on the environment and future generations. When possible, and where reasonable, most of us are willing to do our part to recycle. The trash is the last place we want any large appliance to end up.

Given that these machines are mostly scrap metal, there’s a fantastic opportunity to recycle the old steel and metals for future use.

BUT (there’s always a ‘but’ isn’t there) it is never that easy.

Recycling your washer and dryer might be a bit of a challenge to do on your own. For one, you need to locate a recycling center. Sometimes this means having to travel long distances to find a place that’ll accept your items. It also means that you’ll need a vehicle capable of safely hauling these items to the recycler.

But that’s not all. We need to consider safety (yours and others). You’ll need a dolly, tie-down straps, and a few lads (or ladies) with some muscles.

On the other hand, one quick call to Victory Junk Removal and our eco-friendly junk removal services handle all that and more for you. Our team is outfitted with the best equipment in the industry. This allows our junk removal team to safely navigate your old appliance out of your home or garage and onto our trucks.

An outdated washer or dryer is not efficient or eco-friendly.

Our hauling experts know exactly how to handle large appliances and where they can be properly recycled.

2. Drop off Your Washer and Dryer at a Local Scrap Yard

Most large areas have a scrap yard within driving distance. However, you may run into the same issues with loading and unloading. Plus, finding a vehicle and capable individuals to help with these types of appliances. The benefit of a scrap yard is that they often pay for metals, and the items still end up being recycled. Granted you won’t make much, and with gas prices what they are, it might only cover the drive, but it’s still an option.

Again, if you’d rather skip the hassle then give us a call. We’d be happy to make sure your washer and dryer end up recycled and put to proper use.

We also remove electronic waste (e-junk) such as computers, cell phones, old TVs, printers, and more.

3. Store ‘Haul Away’ Programs For Appliances

In some cases, stores will actually offer to come and haul away your items for free. That is IF you purchase your new washer and dryer from them.

These programs aren’t as prevalent as they used to be. Many now charging a ‘haul away’ fee, but they still might be worth looking into.

On the other hand, you might end up saving more money by not restricting yourself from buying from participating stores. Contact your local appliance shops or check online for more information.

4. Manufacturers’ Recycling Programs (a rarity but not unheard of)

Even less common is the manufacturer recycling program. Some manufacturers may offer their own recycling programs with ‘drop off’ locations or pickups. But be certain to read the fine print. There may be certain requirements that you need to meet. Some programs for appliances require that they be plugged in and turned on to prove it’s still functional (even if broken).

5. Make a Donation

If your washer and dryer are still in good working condition, you may be able to donate these items to charity. You can go through an organization to do this (be sure to get a receipt, so you can take the tax deduction). Another option is posting it on social media for free.

The BEST Way to Get Rid of a Washer and Dryer

Ok, look, we might be biased (admittedly), but we have our reasons. As one of the leaders in junk removal, we know a thing or two about removing old appliances. We guarantee it is always better to let the pros do the dirty work.

Benefits of Hiring Victory Junk Removal To Get Rid of Your Washer and Dryer

1. Save time

Let’s face it, dealing with old appliances is time-consuming and likely the least favorite thing to do on you list. Our junk removal service will handle everything. From hauling out the appliances to loading them on the truck and making sure they get to the recycler, we’ve got you covered.

2. Save money

You may think that you can save money by doing it yourself, but that’s not always the case. First off, what’s your time worth? Removing, loading, unloading, and driving your washing machine to the proper location can amount to several hours. Even if your city will take the items, you’ll likely have to pay an additional fee and the items might not get recycled.

3. Avoid injury

Trying to lift and carry heavy items can lead to injuries, especially if you’re not used to doing it. And let’s face it, your high school athletic days are well behind you (sorry not sorry). The professionals who work for us are trained to lift and carry heavy items, so they can do it without risking injury.

4. Support a local business

When you use a junk removal company, you’re supporting a local business, and that means the world to us (truly). This is great for the local economy, and it’s also great for your community.
