Disposal Locations (Tanks and cylinders must be empty: charge may apply)
Appliance Disposal 2909 Basswood Road, Manitowoc (920) 323-0493 Accepts all appliances including humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air conditioners, furnaces, and water heaters.
Manitowoc County Recycling Center Major appliances include air conditioners, washers and dryers, freezers, dishwashers, ovens, refrigerators, dehumidifiers, water heaters and microwave ovens (unless the capacitor has been removed). They were banned from Wisconsin landfills in 1991. Old or broken microwave ovens require special treatment because some microwave capacitors contain PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), which can cause adverse health affects if improperly handled or disposed. Refrigerators and air conditioners contain freon refrigerants such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). These chemical refrigerants destroy the earth’s ozone layer, which protect life on earth from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. Source: WI DNR, 2010 www.dnr.wi.gov
