Solutions for consumers and Solutionf for utilities

JACO Environmental is dedicated to protecting the environment and preserving the earth's valuable resources through the art of responsible appliance recycling.Started over twenty years ago in Snohomish County,north of Seattle, Washington, JACO Environmental has grown to become one of the largest recyclers of household appliances in the United States. Currently,JACO is providing appliance recycling services to local and regional utilities in 28 states (in green) across the country and recycles over 400,000 units each year. The demand for responsible appliance recycling is projected to grow and we expect to double the number of units we recycle within the next ten years.

Through a proven combination of proprietary and non-proprietary equipment and processes, JACO ensures that over 95% of the components and materials of the discarded appliance are either recycled for beneficial uses or eliminated in an environmentally responsible way. The remaining 5% can then be productively used as “fluff” to facilitate the decomposition of biodegradable landfill material. Our process is so thorough and safe that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency honored JACO with an International Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award in 2004 and a Best of the Best award in 2007 on the 20th anniversary of the Montreal Protocol.
