Recycling Appliances in Nebraska: What to Know

How to Prepare Appliances

  • Appliances with freon (fridge/freezer/AC) usually need certified refrigerant recovery — ask about the fee.
  • Many scrap yards take freon-free metal appliances at no charge.
  • Secure or remove doors from old fridges for safety.
