Dispose of the washing machine - you must pay attention to this

If you want to dispose of your washing machine, there are a few options available. Which of these options you ultimately choose depends, among other things, on the condition of the household appliance.

Dispose of the washing machine - so it'll work

In the best case scenario, the old washing machine can be sold. As long as the machine is still working, it is always worth placing a free ad on the popular classified ads portals, such as eBay.

• But even if the washing machine is defective, you may still be able to monetize the household appliance. For example, by offering the old washing machine for hobbyists or as a spare parts dispenser.
• In almost all cities you will also find dealers who specialize in the sale of used electrical appliances. Most of the time, however, they pay less than if you sell the household appliances privately.
• Junk dealers are also often interested in old washing machines. However, you will not receive any money for it and the scrap dealers will only come if the way is worth it for them. But maybe the neighbors also have electronic waste that they would like to be rid of.
• Recycling centers generally accept old household appliances free of charge. If you do not have a trailer, have the washing machine picked up for a fee.
• Another option is to have the old washing machine picked up from the bulky waste.
• Note: Since mid-2016, almost all dealers have to take back the old electrical devices. In this case, however, the transport remains with you.
