Where can I get a good deal on my old washing machine?
Washing machines, unfortunately, eventually become obsolete and break down. So what should you do with these large appliances that have already served their purpose? There are several possible answers to this question. Of course, we'll first consider the most cost-effective ways to dispose of a washing machine. And these are only those methods that:
- They don't require any special effort from us.
- They do not require our monetary expenses.
- Will bring us some benefit.
Profitable ways to get rid of your washing machine
The first profitable way to part with a once-beloved but no longer quite suitable appliance is... you'll never guess! Return it to the appliance store!!!
We're returning the machine to the appliance store!
How is this possible? you ask: After all these years of work, no one will ever take her back!
That's right, they won't accept it for the price you originally paid. And it's unlikely the store will accept it for cash anyway. But quite often, one home appliance store chain or another runs various promotions. During these promotions, trading in your old machine can be a great way to get a significant discount on a new one!
Discounts are typically offered for both working and broken appliances, even those manufactured many years ago. However, to be on the safe side, we recommend calling before visiting the store to clarify any questions regarding the promotion and its terms.
With this option, you'll likely have to deliver the machine to the store yourself. So, this method isn't exactly straightforward, especially if your old washing machine is heavy.
Hand over to scrap metal collection points
This option promises you a certain amount of money. The exact amount will depend on the price at which specialized institutions accept such items and the type of car you have.
Again, Before going to scrap metal collection points, we recommend calling them. You can also check if they offer independent removal of old appliances. If you're lucky and find a company that does, you could earn some money without breaking the bank.
You can search for similar companies using the Internet. (may Yandex and Google help you) or with the help of various newspapers with advertisements.
Free removal of household appliances
These services are offered by various companies in large cities, and possibly even smaller ones, across Russia. To find a company willing to take your old, "battered" washing machine for free, you can again use online search engines.
For example, if you search "Free household appliance removal in Moscow" in Yandex, you'll see a ton of websites offering this service. You can find similar companies in other cities, too.
This method of getting rid of your washing machine isn't exactly the most cost-effective. It won't make you any money. However, it's the easiest. All you need to do is call and wait for the movers to arrive. They'll carry out the appliances themselves, and all you'll have to do is watch them go.
What's the catch? There's no real catch. It's just that your old car is worth money too:
- Firstly, it contains various parts that can be used to repair other cars or sold.
- Secondly, it contains metal, which is also accepted as cash.
That's why many organizations will be happy to relieve you of the problem of having boring old equipment.
Sell your car through classifieds or newspapers
This method is best suited for those with an old washing machine that's still in working order. What needs to be done?
- Visit the site
- Create an advert for selling your car.
- It's better to take a photo (advertisements with photos attract more attention).
- Write a description of the machine (its condition, functions, programs, etc.) and its price.
- Place an ad.
You can try selling faulty household appliances in the same way. However, don't try to deceive people. State upfront that the machine is faulty. Also, specify what exactly is broken (if you know). It's possible that a repairman might buy your washing machine and use it for spare parts.
By the way, you can use this classifieds board to sell not only household appliances, but also any new or used items. Speaking of which, How to buy a used washing machine on Avito We already wrote.
Just throw it away
This option is not at all profitable and, what’s more, can become costly. Disposing of a washing machine may require the assistance of movers and transportation. Furthermore, separate containers should be provided for this type of large waste, which, of course, most dumpsters simply don't have.
We can only recommend this method to those who enjoy spending extra money and carrying heavy objects. For everyone else, we recommend the methods described above.
And if you're a creative and inventive person, you can figure out how to use an unwanted sewing machine and turn it into an original piece of furniture or a practical household tool.

Our janitors dispose of household appliances unofficially. You'll probably have to pay for bringing them down from your apartment.
I bought a new car at the store with free delivery, and they immediately offered to pick up the old one for free.
