Proper Disposal
(of old refrigerator)
IMPORTANT:
Now that you have a new refrigerator, it is extremely important that you dispose of your old appliance in a way that minimizes
the possibility that children will fi nd it. There have been many cases in years past of children crawling inside junked and
abandoned refrigerators and becoming trapped or suffocated.
Contact your municipal waste disposal authority to fi nd out the best and safest way to dispose of your old refrigerator.
WARNING
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
IMPORTANT:
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous... even if they will sit for “just a few days.”
