You’ll likely have to make use of a drop-off or take-back program.

The metal/plastic body or frame and connecting wires,pipes,hose, insulation etc of equipment may be recycled.

I also don’t understand how you can live so far from a recycling centre! I thought the Government wanted to promote recycling – first step, make it accessible to everyone.

I’m glad you found Costco’s recycling service. That’ll earn them some goodwill.

When one calculates monetary savings consideration must be given to include labor to sort, handle, ship, receive, clean and on and on. Now wouldn’t it make sense instead to train people to repair our “stuff” in lieu of just living in a “throw away society”. Also, in reference to just the 130,000,000 cell phones thrown away each year, what if we manufactured them in the USA instead of overseas. Think what a savings that would be in creating jobs, solving the home repo problem, reducing reliance on gov’t “give away” programs.
