Preparing your refrigerator for disposal requires a few key steps to ensure a smooth and efficient process. First, completely empty the refrigerator of all food and items, unplug it from the power source, and allow it to defrost. Once defrosted, clean the interior to prevent mold and odors from developing during transport. Secure any loose parts, such as shelves or drawers, to avoid damage or accidents while moving. Then, separate your fridge components according to type—metal, plastic, glass, etc. Finally, tape the doors shut to ensure they remain closed during transportation. After completing these simple steps, contact your local Junk King to ensure an eco-friendly and safe disposal of your old refrigerator.
