Did you know that New York State law specifically bans the disposal of electronic waste in landfills? It does. That means your friendly garbage collector has been instructor to ignore any type of e-waste you put out to the curb for pickup. The same can be said of major kitchen appliances like a stove, fridge, washer, dryer or dishwasher. You can’t put them out on the curb in front of your house and hope they’ll disappear because they won’t. It becomes your responsibility to get that item properly disposed of. So, just how are you going to accomplish that?
You might be able to load up your car with an old computer to make a drop-off but that’s not going to be an option with the old stove. That means you’d be left with renting a van or truck. Right off the bat, you’ve now got to coordinate with someone else to drive you to the rental agency, pick up the truck and then drive you back when you’re done with the whole trip.
Back at home, you’ve got to load up your stove. Do you have a dolly? If not it’s going to make getting that stove out of your kitchen extremely difficult. Suppose you get all of that done (hours later) now you have to drive around Rockland to find the best drop-off site. As mentioned, it won’t be a landfill. You have to find a proper recycling center or a certified drop off site. Make your way through all of those steps and you’ve pretty much surrendered your day off just to get rid of a stove. That’s why so many folks merely shove the stove or other oversized item into a garage or down the basement. There must be a better way. Actually there is, and that would be Junk King Hudson Valley.
