How to properly dispose of household appliances? Free disposal of old and decommissioned equipment Recycling, dismantling and removal of any old equipment that contains circuit boards

A person is surrounded on all sides by technology and various devices. Each of us has a microwave oven, a washing machine, an electric kettle and much more at home. No matter how long the service life is promised by manufacturers, everything breaks and becomes obsolete. We know how to use working household appliances, but what to do with them after they break down and you need to get rid of them?

Why a landfill is not the place for old equipment

All modern devices are made from hazardous materials that can have a negative impact on the environment:

• Metals. During the process of oxidation and decomposition, it releases toxic substances into the soil and water, which poisons plants and animals.
• Electronics. Circuits and other parts are created from low-quality plastic alloys. These components also emit toxic substances and do not decompose.
• Plastic and polyethylene. They have a long decay period. Dangerous for nature and human health.
• Wiring. It consists of rubber, plastic and metals, the joint decomposition of which contributes to the appearance of combined toxic substances.
• Rubber. Practically does not decompose. Pollutes the soil and air.

Thus, one electric kettle thrown into the trash can harm not only the environment, but also cause dangerous diseases in humans. Therefore, do not throw devices into a landfill under any circumstances.

All old and unnecessary small equipment must be properly disposed of. There are many simple and accessible ways to do this.

Recycling

After disposal, all household appliances go to recycling plants, where they undergo a recycling process:

1. Sorting. Appliances are divided into groups: kettles, microwaves, food processors, etc.
2. Analysis into details. Each device is disassembled, and all components are divided according to the type of material into metal, plastic, etc.

Why is it necessary to recycle office equipment?

Along with the legal one, there is also a practical need for recycling office equipment. Firstly, the administration of any landfill will not allow you to leave a computer on its territory for fear of a fine. Secondly, electronics left unattended on the street or in a trash can have a harmful impact on the surrounding environment. Thirdly, any equipment contains precious metals. And finally, fourthly, equipment owned by legal entities, but not used for its intended purpose, is retained on the balance sheet of the enterprise, which means it requires payment of taxes.

Legal free disposal

In order to legally dispose of office equipment, you must obtain a disposal license. But many companies do not want to spend money on obtaining an expensive license, where money is not always all that is needed, the company must have expensive equipment to carry out its activities (crushers, presses, wheeled vehicles), such small companies try to dispose of your equipment the “old fashioned way”, through the law on the circulation of precious metals. Although since the summer of 2016 in Russia this method is no longer correct.

The disposal procedure is as follows:

* conclusion of an agreement;

*recycling act

* removal of office equipment;

* disassembly and sorting into individual elements (boards containing precious metals, ferrous metal, waste, etc.);

* transfer of raw materials to specialized enterprises involved in their processing;

* drawing up and transferring a disposal certificate to the customer.

The full cycle of work usually takes one to two weeks. For each of you, recycling office equipment can be a good chance to earn a little money, since used electronics are paid at a special rate.

Disposal of household appliances and recycling of end-of-life devices is currently becoming a serious problem for humanity. It’s one thing when a small electrical appliance breaks down – an iron or a mixer. But what should you do if your refrigerator or TV needs to be replaced? How to get rid of equipment so as not to harm the environment and human health?

What is recycling?

Recycling is the complete elimination or recycling of household appliances or other waste.

Proper disposal of old household appliances ensures the preservation of the environmental situation

The main tasks of this sphere of production are:

• collection of material;
• storage;
• transportation;
• sorting;
• neutralization;
• or liquidation.

The entire process is strictly regulated by regulatory documents and is under constant monitoring of compliance with established requirements.

The meaning and role of technology recycling

Recycling old appliances allows you to solve the issues that arise for people who do not know what to do with old household appliances when they plan to purchase a more modern and improved model or replace equipment that has become unusable.

The correct organization of this process allows you to solve many issues, including economic and environmental ones.

From an economic point of view, recycling household appliances is beneficial because it allows the materials to be reused in industrial production; in addition, some types of appliances contain a certain amount of precious metals.

Environmental issues in the modern world are becoming more and more relevant and require the attention of all humanity.

It is enough to know that:

• processes of decay and oxidation of metals lead to an extremely negative effect on all living organisms and the condition of the soil;
• in the manufacture of electronic circuits, low-quality materials are often used, and when they decompose, a huge amount of toxic substances gets into the ground;
• The decomposition period of plastic can be up to 50 years, depending on the size;
• rubber is produced mainly from recycled materials; it practically does not decompose, but at the same time it contributes to environmental pollution.

Based on the above, unauthorized removal of household appliances to landfills should not be carried out. This should only be done by specialized organizations.

Procedure for separating household appliances for disposal

Depending on the dimensions and internal structure of old household appliances and special requirements for their disposal and recycling, there is a conditional division of recyclable appliances. Separately grouped:

• Refrigerators and freezers, as well as air conditioning. Disposal of this type of equipment has its own characteristics. First of all, it is necessary to completely pump out freon, an extremely hazardous substance for the environment. Next comes the sorting of the components of the devices into plastic, metal parts, and glass. Generators and other electrical equipment are sent to special workshops for removal.
• Washing machines are another type of large household appliance that is sorted into a separate group for the recycling process. The technology for working with them is similar to recycling refrigeration equipment.
• Televisions - recycling picture tubes is a rather complex process, which only a few organizations in Russia deal with. The main goal is to recover precious metals for recycling.
• Mobile phones, smartphones - these devices contain up to 80% of components that are recyclable. Now there are many programs that will help you get rid of your mobile device easily and safely.
• Household hair dryers, electric coffee grinders, coffee makers and other small household appliances represent the last group of devices that must be disposed of.

When planning to replace household appliances with new ones, first of all, you need to decide on a method for disposing of old equipment. What recycling methods are there?

Sell ​​or donate?

The easiest way to liquidate serviceable but outdated technical equipment is to sell it on specialized websites or forums. Many people cannot afford to purchase new equipment at high prices, so they try to purchase it at a low cost second-hand. But if a person wants to get rid of the equipment, observing all the requirements, then there are several possibilities for this.

Ordering removal to special landfills

When ordering the removal of household electrical equipment to landfills designated for this purpose, you will have to pay a set fee. In addition, before concluding a contract, it is necessary to check whether the company carrying out transportation has the necessary permits and licenses to carry out such activities.

Service companies and special services

The household appliance recycling service, unlike other companies, not only disposes of unnecessary household electrical appliances free of charge, but also pays a certain amount to the customer for the opportunity to remove it for subsequent processing. You just need to call the service dispatcher and leave a request for removal of household appliances.

Service companies also deal with the issue of recycling household appliances, but, as a rule, each of them specializes in a particular group of devices.

Some offer recycling services only for refrigerators or washing machines. Others only export computer equipment.

Recycling programs

Currently, various promotions and programs conducted by large retail chains have become most popular. This is a great opportunity not only to get rid of outdated household appliances for free, but also to get a good discount on the purchase of new modern equipment for your home. Trading companies also have their own benefits, since they are an intermediary between the company involved in recycling and the population. They also receive good advertising and the opportunity to maintain low prices for their goods. Where do recycling events most often take place?

Eldorado is perhaps the most popular company selling consumer electronics. The program for accepting unnecessary electrical appliances from the population is carried out 2 times a year, and goes by a variety of names, for example: “Total recycling”, “Change old for new” and the like. Discounts on goods here are directly dependent on the category of goods; their value ranges from 1 to 20%.

Eldarado recycling program

According to the rules, during the promotion, large household appliances, as well as small household appliances, digital and audio and video equipment are recycled. If you sign up for a product delivery service, your old equipment will be removed free of charge.

"Technosila"

The Tekhnosila retail chain also regularly holds similar promotions. Despite the fact that the goods included in the promotion are divided into separate categories, there is a large selection for buyers. The amount of the discount is calculated depending on the price of the equipment purchased; it varies from 5 to 20%.

This is only a small part of the opportunities provided by modern entrepreneurs to the population, which allow them to get rid of unnecessary items. At the same time, a person is not only freed from financial expenses, but also receives tangible benefits. Through such joint efforts, a significant improvement in the ecological state of the planet can be achieved. Currently, this task is in first place throughout the world.
