Proper Disposal of Your
Refrigerator or Freezer
Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appliance
recycling/disposal methods. Check with your
utility company or visit
www.energystar.gov/recycle for more
information on recycling your old appliance.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator/Freezer:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not
easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified
service technician.
