If your old washer and dryer are still in working condition and you have space for an additional hook-up, you may be able to use them for things you don’t want in your household laundry, like heavily soiled work clothes. If the appliances no longer work, some parts may be salvageable for scrap—contact a scrap collector to see if they’ll take them.

There are several options for disposing of a water softener. First, you’ll need to empty it of any water, salt, and resin, which can be thrown away in the trash in doubled-up garbage bags. Then, check with your municipal waste management department, which may have guidelines or recommendations. You may be able to put the water softener out with your garbage, or you can often recycle it. Just be sure to follow any local regulations for pickups or drop-offs.

Some scrap yards may offer you money for water softeners that have metal parts, so consider calling local facilities for quotes.
