How To Get Rid Of Old Household Appliances and WHY!

There is a massive difference between knowing you need to get rid of those old appliances and figuring out exactly how to get rid of them. It can be even more complicated if the appliance holds a sentimental value to it, such as your grandmother’s cookstove that you use to bake cookies with or a fresh apple pie. It is understandable why one might want to keep it. Except, at one point we have to draw the line too.

Anything that has sentimental value is hard to part with, however, when the item takes up room and is not being used, it is a good idea to figure out how to get rid of it.

First things first, however … If it’s broken, throw it out! If you think about it, keeping an old appliance that no longer works really does not make much sense. If it is a matter of being able to afford to have it repaired, then get rid of it. Often with older appliances, repair costs more than replacement. Ready to figure out How To Get Rid Of Old Household Appliances? Check out my top 3 suggestions below!

Sell it
If the appliance in question works just fine, but you have a new one, or the old one is a spare, then consider selling it at a yard sale or online. You can even list it in your local newspaper OR nowadays, in your go-to social network. Instead of hanging on to something that you are not using, it is best to make some money off of it!

Give it away
Ask your friends, as well as your neighbors or even relatives, if they can use the appliance. It is much better to give it away to someone that will put it to good use than letting it take up space in your home or garage. This can also be an excellent option for an appliance that has sentimental value to you. Give the item to a loved one who will use it and enjoy it as much as you did.

Donate it
Gather up all of your old appliances that are in good working condition and donate them to a thrift store or a local program that helps people in low-income situations. Many people cannot afford the luxury of a coffee maker, blender or even a working cook stove.

The most important thing you have to ask yourself is if that old appliance, just sitting there, is doing you any good at all. If the answer is no, make up your mind to do something about it. If the item is old but still works, think about selling it or giving it to someone who needs it.

MAJOR TIP: When dealing with heavy items like refrigerators, cookstoves, or bigger microwaves, always have someone help you or ask someone to pick it up for you. This will ensure that you avoid possible injury by attempting to move it yourself.

Personally, I only have ONE reason as to WHY I will be getting rid of an appliance (or even a gadget) every few years … and that is to UPGRADE! There’s no better reason other than that in my honest perspective. You get to have the latest in trend, enjoy what our technology and innovation has to offer, at the same time, be able to help out someone in need or make a few bucks from your old one.

A great example of an appliance to let go of is a dishwasher. Some people tend to take this one for granted given that “it still gets the job done” … but trust me, if you know what the latest version has to offer, you would consider it too! Just like the Bosch 800 Series Dishwasher! It delivers a sparkling clean and dry (including plastics!!!) by using advanced PrecisionWash technology as well as patented CrystalDry technology.

I have been keeping an eye out on this specific model because of the PrecisionWash intelligent sensors. I totally love that it continuously scan and check the progress of dishes throughout the cycle, and it also utilizes compelling spray arms that target every item of every load for the ultimate clean.

Let’s be honest, dishwashers need to be replaced every now and then and upgraded. It gets outdated, germy, and filthy after so many years. Come to think of it; this is where we clean all of our daily dishes, utensils, bakeware AND everything else that relates to cooking and eating.
