Appliance recycling Services in Memphis, Tennessee

Appliance recycling is essential for Memphis homeowners managing old kitchen and laundry equipment. When refrigerators fail near Midtown Memphis or washing machines break down in Bartlett neighborhoods, EvoNorth provides certified recycling that diverts metal, copper, and refrigerant from landfills. We handle appliances containing hazardous materials like CFCs in older units, using EPA-licensed technicians to extract and safely dispose of refrigerants before crushing and shredding. This process recovers approximately 75-85% of appliance materials for reuse in manufacturing.

Our appliance recycling process begins with a free on-site assessment where we inspect the unit's size, condition, and any special handling needs. We schedule pickup at your convenience across Memphis locations including East Memphis, Whitehaven, Hickory Hill, and surrounding areas. Our team disconnects and removes the appliance safely, transports it to our certified recycling facility in the Memphis area, and processes it according to EPA RoHS and R-22 refrigerant recovery standards. You receive documentation of recycling within 5-7 business days.

Recent Project

Recent Appliance Recycling Project in East Memphis

A 3,200 sq ft estate in East Memphis near the Germantown border required removal of five appliances from a 1987 home: a refrigerator with active CFC refrigerant, a gas range, two washing machine models from different decades, and a standalone freezer unit. Our crew completed the full extraction, disconnection, and safe transport to our recycling facility within 2 days. The refrigerant recovery alone prevented 18 pounds of ozone-depleting chemicals from entering the atmosphere, and 2,340 pounds of steel and aluminum were recovered for manufacturing reuse.
