For thousands of households, it is a pity to sell old household appliances. They are useless. If they are broken, they can be repaired and used. It is not cost-effective to sell them for dozens of yuan. My family has two freezers and a refrigerator. They can be used, but they are old. I want to exchange them for new ones, but no one comes to collect them.
Many people give the discarded household appliances to the accessories receivers, who then give them to the waste recycling stations. Some of the waste appliances are disassembled and sold as hardware by these recycling stations.
In the marginal areas of large and small cities, you can often see waste recycling stations and second-hand markets. In these places, there are many kinds of discarded household appliances such as TVs, computers, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. The door-to-door delivery of a computer host ranges from 10 yuan to 20 yuan. A computer monitor is sold for 10 yuan like a TV. A washing machine is less than 30 yuan, but the profit generated is more than that.
Taking refrigerators as an example, the average profit of dismantling a refrigerator is 120 yuan. Private workshops only need 1 yuan for electricity and 2 yuan for labor, while formal home appliance dismantling companies have to bear 4 yuan for electricity, 5 yuan for labor, 2 yuan for accessories, 2 yuan for nitrogen, 2 yuan for hazardous waste treatment and 17% tax.
We believe that there is a long way to go in the resource utilization of waste home appliance recycling and dismantling. If you are engaged in waste home appliance dismantling, you have home appliance dismantling and recycling equipment, a stable and sufficient supply, waste home appliance crushing and recycling equipment, waste home appliance dismantling and sorting equipment, and then increase the added value of refined metals, plastics and other products, and manufacture high-quality, high-value-added metal materials, the prospects will be better.
