Handling Large Units and Hazardous Materials

Whether it’s a residential upgrade or part of a larger construction debris removal, we integrate air conditioner disposal into your broader cleanup plan. This is especially valuable for projects involving construction homes or urban development in cities like Washington DC and Cherry Hill.
Recycling and Reuse Options
Nova Junk emphasizes eco-friendly disposal. Usable items, including air conditioner parts, may be diverted to donation centers or recycling facilities. These efforts align with our ambitious recycling goals and support sustainable practices across the region.
Some AC components such as copper tubing, aluminum fins, and electronic circuits can be recovered and repurposed. This reduces landfill impact and supports the circular economy.
