REUSEAppliances
Major home appliances, often called "white goods," have long useful lives of 10-18 years. When they finally reach the end of their lives, these appliances take on new value as an important raw material for manufacturing. Discarded appliances are second only to old automobiles as a source of recycled metals, particularly steel. Ohio has widespread and comprehensive infrastructure for the reuse and recycling of household appliances. Appliances can be recycled if they are functional or repairable, and recycled if not. Ohio’s recycling programs and steel industry have organized a model system for recovering large appliances, including pick-up programs and drop-off centers. Many of these programs receive grant funds to assist with collection and recycling. Around 400 tons of appliances are recycled every year as a result of our community grant program. Our success in appliance recycling is due to both the grant funds offered and the strong participation by industry and private scrap dealers, retailers, nonprofit organizations, state government and individuals.
