Refrigerator & Freezer Recycling
Your inefficient, working refrigerator or freezer may be costing you up to $80 a year in operation costs. If you are looking to replace it or just want to get rid of a secondary unit you no longer need, you can receive a no-cost pickup, have it responsibly recycled, and receive a $150 rebate for units picked up*.
Your choice to recycle instead of using other disposal options will help curtail growing peak load demand, prevent the release of greenhouse gases and ensure that over 90% of the unit is being properly recycled by Resilient Buildings Group (RBG)**, our contracted vendor.
How It Works:
- Eligibility: Ensure you meet the eligibility requirements listed below
- Receive Your Rebate: Allow 6-8 weeks after pickup for incentive processing
