Responsible Recycling Protects the Planet

Proper recycling of old appliances safeguards the environment from toxins and ozone-depleting gases, and reduces the waste stream.

Older refrigerators and freezers contain a number of hazardous and toxic components.
Without proper recycling and disposal, these contaminants will end up in a landfill and be
released into the environment. JACO recycles approximately 95% of each appliance.
Not only is energy and money saved by not having to produce raw materials,
the recycled products don’t enter the waste stream, resulting in even more benefit
to the environment.


Reduce your carbon footprint in a very big way: Recycling just one refrigerator or freezer prevents up to 10 tons of CO₂ and CO₂ equivalent from entering the atmosphere. That is equal to taking two cars off the road for one year.
