AAA Recycling

AAA Recycling in Texarkana lists appliances, electric motors, radiators, and water heaters among its accepted metals. The facility is at 6389 Arkansas Highway 108. It is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with lunch closure from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Call 870-774-4744 or email [email protected] to confirm the item, preparation requirements, and current payment before transporting it. Its published list does not explain whether it accepts refrigerators, freezers, or air conditioners that still contain refrigerant.

When the appliance contains refrigerant

Refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners, dehumidifiers, water coolers, and some ice makers contain refrigerant. Tell the donation program, recycler, retailer, hauler, or city service what the appliance is before scheduling or transporting it.

Do not cut a refrigerant line or release refrigerant. Ask whether the recipient recovers it or requires written proof that a qualified person removed it. The EPA appliance-disposal guide explains the federal disposal requirements.

When a retailer delivers a replacement

Ask about haul-away when ordering the new appliance. The retailer can deliver the replacement and remove the old appliance during the same visit.

Eligible items include refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, wall ovens, cooktops, microwaves, range hoods, and ice makers. The old appliance must be empty and free of hazardous material and infestations. It must be disconnected unless the order includes an applicable installation service.

Prepare the appliance

  1. Tell the recipient whether the appliance works and describe leaks, rust, missing parts, or other damage.
  2. Empty refrigerators and freezers. Follow the recipient's instructions for defrosting, drying, and keeping the appliance plugged in before pickup.
  3. Ask who will disconnect water, gas, wiring, vents, and built-in equipment. Arrange qualified help when the pickup service does not include disconnection.
  4. Measure the appliance, doors, hallways, stairs, and gates before scheduling indoor removal.
Check first: Confirm acceptance before moving the appliance. Programs may limit appliance types, service areas, pickup capacity, and the work their crews perform.
