How to Dispose of a Washer or Dryer in Daly City, CA
Washers and dryers are heavy, mostly-metal appliances that are valuable to recyclers but a pain to move. Here is how to get one out of your Daly City home the right way.
Why You Can't Just Throw It Away
Laundry appliances are largely steel and other metals, which scrap and appliance recyclers want. Because they are heavy and often sit in tight laundry closets or basements, the main challenge is safe removal rather than special handling.
