We'll pick up and recycle that old energy inefficient refrigerator or freezer and reward you.

Getting rid of that old refrigerator or freezer typically saves several hundred dollars over its useful lifetime. By recycling your old appliance you’ll also ensure that it doesn’t end up in a landfill or wasting energy in another home. We also encourage you to dispose of your primary refrigerator or freezer when you purchase a new energy-efficient model.

NEW! You can now recycle your old, inefficient window air conditioner, dehumidifier or mini fridge with a refrigerator or freezer pickup!
Must be coupled with a refrigerator or freezer pickup. Must be in working condition. No monetary reward for window air conditioner, dehumidifier, or mini fridge pickup.
