If your appliance still in working condition, you have even more choices!
A great place to start is finding a local community organization that may be in need. Some ogranizations, like Habitat for Humanity, may be able to give you a tax deduction slip.

In need of a little extra cash to cover the new appliance? Post your item on Craigs List or eBay. You may find a local willing to pay a decent penny to take it off your hands. If you don’t have the time or capacity to move it yourself, reduce the price a bit and ask for the buyer to pick it up.

If you’ve already purchased your new appliance, and it happens to be an ENERGY STAR complaint machine, then you can take advantage of the current Texas Cash for Appliances rebate. Not only will you receive money back for your new, energy efficient appliance- you can sntach an additional $75 by proving you properly recycled your old appliance.
