Montgomery County Environmental Services is hosting their annual Appliance Amnesty Weekend.

Residents can dispose of old appliances free of charge at the Montgomery County Solid Waste Transfer and Recycling Facility, 1001 Encrete Lane in Moraine.

This program is to prevent illegal dumping, promote recycling, and protect soil and waterways from pollution or contamination.

Licensed technicians will remove any refrigerant, such as Freon, and metal components will be recycled rather than placed in a landfill. Microwaves, small counter top appliances or outdoor grills aren’t a part of this free program, but can be taken for a nominal fee.

The facility also accepts appliances throughout the year for a small fee.
