When it comes time to change the washing machine, it is not difficult to buy a new one. It's harder to figure out where to put the old washing machine, when its place is just bought.

There can be several options.

You pay

By modern standards, you can not just take out the dimensional equipment on the street and leave it anywhere. You will be fined for this. Oversized things are recycled in special places, and it costs money. Disposal of one washing machine can cost 1500-2000 rubles, depending on the distance to the place of utilization. This amount will include the price of the actual utilization, the services of loaders and transport. This is the most costly way to put an unnecessary machine somewhere.

Sometimes special garbage containers are installed on trash cans. In this case, you will have to pay only to the loaders or wipers.

If you do not know the local rules, call the local public utilities or the management company. They are obliged to inform you where you can put large-sized rubbish, without violating the laws.

You do not pay

You can advertise for local sites that you give the washing machine for free with the condition of self-export. So you will not get any benefit, but free up space in the apartment for a few hours, and a couple more hours will answer the calls of those who wish to free you from solving the problem, where to put unnecessary washing machine.

In many cities there are companies that take out free of charge from apartments and houses all kinds of rubbish. Usually their ads can be found in the section "Services". Household appliances, they then dismantled, to use for parts or scrap metal. For you the main thing is that the problem will be solved without your expenses.

With pleasure they take old units and repairmen of household appliances. True, this does not apply to all models: very old cars are unlikely to be necessary for someone.

Washing machines in working condition happily take away orphanages, boarding houses for the elderly, animal shelters or charitable organizations. They will find transport and hands for loading.

Pay you

If your old washing machine is still running or can be repaired, advertise on the Internet or the local newspaper for private ads. If you do not set too high a price, those wishing to purchase a used equipment will find a lot. These cars are bought in apartments for rent, in dormitories, at the cottage. You can save a couple of thousand rubles, and free up space.

It is worth paying attention to the shares in large household appliances stores. Sometimes they announce actions, during which you can hand over the old equipment in exchange for discounts on the purchase of a new one.

It is possible to try to disassemble the unsuitable car for spare parts and hand over the individual parts to scrap metal. True, there will be a lot of time for this, and the proceeds will be small.

The second life of the old technique

Home craftsmen, incorrigible Plyushkin, often try to find obsolete things a new application. Spare parts of the washing machine can also be successfully used in very interesting ways.

From the glass hatch you can make a survey porthole in the fence for your dog. Glass together with the lock can become an original window in the wall of a bath or a shed.

The case can turn into a stable frame of a small workbench in the garage or at the cottage. From the tanks of the old activator machines the craftsmen are making dacha plates or burzhujki. The hull from the machine with the front loading can be turned into a box for a small dog. You just need to insulate the walls and roof and put a soft litter inside.
