RAD
You should dispose of an old freezer responsibly There are many ways to do this. One way is through RAD. This program recycles old freezers in an environmentally-friendly manner. This program is a partnership between Dominion Energy, the EPA’s Responsibility Appliance Disposal Program.
Companies can partner with RAD to incorporate appliance recycling into their sustainability strategies. They can advertise new appliances that have been certified ENERGY STAR(r), and inform consumers about how to recycle their old appliances. Proper recycling can reduce a company’s carbon footprint and maximize the environmental benefits of each appliance.
The RAD program was created in 2006 and now has more than 45 partners in different states. These partners include manufacturers, retailers, and utilities. They provide financial incentives to consumers to dispose of their appliances responsibly. RAD accepts refrigerators and freezers as well as window air conditioners or dehumidifiers.
RAD partners can recycle appliances by recovering refrigerants or blowing agents from them. These recyclable materials help protect the ozone layer and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. You can make fuel pellets from the insulation foam found in a refrigerator, for example. RAD partners help ensure that all refrigerants, foam, or blowing agents are properly recycled. During the disposal process, RAD partners use the best practices for recycling appliances.
