Do they take refrigerators?

Mari Douglas | Nov 2, 2019
American Scrap Co. | Nov 2, 2019

Mari, unfortunately we do not. Before you take anything anywhere, we’d recommend looking into what you can get when you replace it. A lot of dealers offer incentives for your old appliance while buying a new one. We recommend getting as much as you can before you give something away for free. ASC
