How are your Freon levels? We’re not talking about the Freon in your car but in your major household appliances like an air conditioner or refrigerator. As the city of Westchester is helpful to remind its residents, the “U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations prohibit the intentional release of coolants, such as Freon, into the atmosphere. Such coolants are found in refrigerators, dehumidifiers, freezers and air conditioners.”
In Westchester, there is an opportunity to drop off Freon containing appliances to something they call the Household Material Recovery Day. They also suggest you take that item to a scrap metal recycler who takes those kinds of items. If you want to make things “easier” you could also find a Freon extracting company who would be happy to drain those appliances of all that nasty Freon. But how do you get those appliances to those drop off centers? That’s the problem: you’re on your own.
It’s one thing to drop off an old lap top at an e-waste collection day but how are you expected to put an old refrigerator in the back of your family car and drive it across town to a Freon approved recycling facility? That’s not very practical. What happens then to the old fridge or AC? Usually, they end up being shoved out on a porch or in the garage. With a fridge this could actually be a violation of state law. No unused refrigerator can be left on a property with the door being removed or padlock shut. Do you really want to worry about that? You don’t have to when you call on Junk King Hudson Valley for your appliance disposal.

Collectors come in all shapes and sizes which pretty much corresponds to what that collect: all shapes and sizes! Believe it or not there is actually a very active group of collectors who focus on vintage television sets. These sets were way before cable. In fact, many of them probably wouldn’t be able to broadcast a signal because that can receive a digital feed. But that doesn’t make them any less valuable in the eyes of collectors.
There are some folks who are taking backyard gardening to a whole new level in NY’s Hudson Valley and that’s with the addition of livestock; namely chickens. Having an egg producing hen or two in your backyard means you’ll have the freshest eggs on the block. You’ll also be amazed at how much fun these cluckers can be for the family. And they are extremely low maintenance. You don’t have to take a chicken for a walk, unless of course you want to show them off! What they really need is a coop for overnight protection and that doesn’t require a lot of space at all.
