PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD

are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you
are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please
follow these instructions to help prevent
accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator
or Freezer:
■ Take off the doors.
■ Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
