Junk removal in the West North Central states
Where an old washer or fridge can end up changes at each state line here. Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and North Dakota all keep discarded household appliances out of their landfills. Iowa requires every discarded appliance to be demanufactured, which takes out PCB parts, mercury and refrigerant, before it's disposed of or recycled. South Dakota's rules let a landfill accept large items, white goods included. Kansas guidance from 2002 allowed white goods in landfills too, but urged repair, resale or recycling instead.
