Why do old appliances typically end up in landfills vs. being recycled? If the old appliance ends up rotting in a landfill is that really more enviromentally responsible than leaving it in service?

The harsh reality is appliances rarely get replaced for energy saving. Most are replaced because they NEEDED one. Either the old one died or wasn't worth moving to the new place.
