You can responsibly recycle your working refrigerator and/or freezer and earn a $50 incentive! You'll be glad to know that approximately 95% of each appliance is recycled. We safely dispose of hazardous chemicals, minimizing waste and environmental impact.
Recycling Makes Sense
Consider these facts:
- On average a newer refrigerator or freezer consumes 1,000 fewer kWh annually than one manufactured before 1990.
- Recycling 20,000 older refrigerators or freezers saves enough energy to power approximately 1,400 homes, equivalent to removing 40,000 cars from the road for one year.
- To date New Jersey residents have recycled over 65,000 units, saving approximately 65,000 megawatt hours of electricity, enough to power 4,550 homes a year.
- Upgrading can save up to $150 a year on energy costs. Find out how much your refrigerator or freezer costs to run.
