How to get rid of an old appliance in Jackson County

Jackson County takes stoves, water heaters, dishwashers, washers, and dryers at all eight Staffed Recycling Centers and the transfer station, but nothing with refrigerant: it sends refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers to Metal Wood Recycling, 656 Skyland Drive in Sylva.
