Old appliances don’t belong in landfills. At SMS Appliances, we responsibly recycle and repurpose appliances throughout Medicine Hat and southeastern Alberta — keeping harmful materials out of the environment and giving working parts a second life.
Why Recycle Your Old Appliances?
Household appliances contain materials that can harm the environment if dumped improperly:
Refrigerants in fridges and freezers that damage the ozone layer
Metals (steel, copper, aluminum) that can be recycled indefinitely
Electronics with circuit boards that contain lead and mercury
Compressors and motors with reusable copper wiring
By recycling with us, you’re keeping these materials out of Medicine Hat’s landfill and supporting a circular economy.
Our Recycling Process
When you bring us an old appliance, here’s what happens:
Assessment — We check if the appliance can be refurbished and resold.
Refurbishment — Working appliances are cleaned, tested, and repaired for resale.
Parts recovery — Non-working units are dismantled for usable parts.
Material recycling — Metals, plastics, and electronics are sent to proper recycling facilities.
Refrigerant recovery — We ensure refrigerants are captured and disposed of safely.
