Used Appliances and Scrap Metal
Used Appliances and Scrap Metal
Two options are available for disposing of your old, broken, or energy-inefficient stoves, microwaves, dishwashers, washers, dryers, refrigerators, and freezers.
1. Collection of used appliances upon delivery of new appliances
When purchasing a new appliance from Appliance Canada (through the TDSB), you have the option to have old appliances removed at no cost. Indicate this option when you create your Contract Release Order in SAP with Appliance Canada.
Please note:
· Washing machines must be empty of water and clothing
· Built in dishwashers and microwaves must be removed
· Gas ranges need to be disconnected
· It is not necessary to remove appliance doors
2. Collection of used appliances and scrap metal
Call your Facility Team Leader or CTL to arrange for a pick-up of any used appliances or metal items illegally placed on school property.
3. Collection of clean scrap metal
i. For collection containers and to arrange a pick-up, contact your Facility Team Leader or CTL.
ii. Payment will be made if the quantity and quality of the scrap metal is sufficient.
Reuse of appliances
Highly efficient Energy Star rated appliances in good working order can be offered for reuse through the Trading Post https://tp.tdsb.on.ca/

Electronic Trading Post
Electronic Trading Post
The Trading Post is the official online site for all schools to advertise and/or seek usable surplus furniture, equipment, and textbooks. Schools are asked not to use e-mail or other methods to advertise their surplus goods.
Postings remain on the site for 60 days. During this period, interested schools can reserve items and directly contact offering schools that have available surplus goods. Receiving schools make their own arrangements for the transfer of goods and any fund transfers agreed upon.
Following the 30-day posting, the Purchasing and Distribution Services department will look for the school to dispose of any surplus goods that are no longer required within the TDSB through sales, auctions, and/or other means.
When surplus goods are sold, 100% of the proceeds will be directed to the originating school.
