Our DNR certified demanufacturers will remove the hazardous components and dispose of them in a way that's environmentally safe prior to recycling.

Don't just throw out your appliance that contains refrigerant. That is against Iowa law.Instead, play it safe by bringing it to the knowledgeable appliance demanufacturers at Bell Salvage to ensure sure that the refrigerant is properly removed according to EPA standards.
