What To Do With Your Old Water Heater

Getting a new water heater is the only way out when your old water heater stops working completely.  If you have recently purchased a new water heater, you are probably left with two water heaters, an old one and a new one. And disposing your old water heater can be quite a task. If you have purchased your new water heater from a professional water heater installer in Edmonton, then you need not worry about disposing your old water heater as they take care of everything. But if you are more of a do-it-yourself person then here are a few water heater disposal options,

Recycle Centers

There are many recycling companies which use metal and scrap it. Water heaters have a good percentage of metal content made of steel, copper or brass. Basically your useless old water heater could be gold for a recycling company. You can check with the Edmonton Reuse Center or any other recycling company. Some recycling companies even arrange for transport and pick up the water heater from your doorstep.

Garbage Service

You can even contact your local garbage service who would pick up your old water heater from your doorstep. Some of the garbage service centers have a recycle program through which they can refurbish your heating unit.

Call Local Landfill

Another option is the local landfill service. You can contact them to find out if they can take your old water heater. They usually have a recycling program which takes care of such products. You can pay them a minimum fee and they will help you get rid of your old water heater.

Donate

Sometimes people end up getting a new water heater because they need more hot water than their old water heater can deliver. In that case if your water heater is in good working condition, you can consider donating it. There are many donation centers in Edmonton which would accept your old water heater if it is in good working condition.
