We can help you responsibly recycle your refrigerator and/or freezer for FREE and provide a $50 incentive. You'll be glad to know that approximately 95% of each appliance is recyced. We safely dispose of hazardous chemicals, minimizing waste and environmental impact.

New! We are now expanding the eligible appliances to include room air conditioners and dehumidifiers. You will receive a $25 incentive for each unit recycled; however, the room air conditioners and/or dehumidifiers must be picked up during the same appointment as the refrigerator or freezer. See below for qualifying details.

Ready to make an appointment for a free pick-up?  Schedule an appointment online or give us a call at 866-NJSMART (657-6278)! Saturday appointments are available.

It Just Makes Sense

Consider these important facts:

• On average a newer refrigerator or freezer consumes 1,000 fewer kWh annually than a refrigerator or freezer manufactured before 1990. 
• Recycling 20,000 older refrigerators or freezers results in energy savings equal to the amount of power used in approximately 1,400 homes or removing 40,000 cars from the road for one year. 
• To date New Jersey residents have recycled over 65,000 units, which saves approximately 65,000 megawatt hours of electricity. This is enough to power 4,550 homes for an entire year.
• Find out how much your refrigerator or freezer costs to operate. You can save up to $150 a year on energy costs.

New Jersey's Clean Energy Program is proud to be a Responsible Appliance Disposal Program Partner with the EPA.

Promotion Dates

This offer is valid through June 30, 2020 and is available to residential customers of Atlantic City Electric, JCP&L, PSE&G and Rockland Electric.

Rebate Levels 

For turning in your appliance(s), you will receive a $50 incentive for each qualifying refrigerator and/or freezer. You may receive a $25 incentive for a room air conditioner or dehumidifier recycled at the same time as the refrigerator/freezer pick up (up to the maximum limit of two refrigerators and/or freezers, two room air conditioners and two dehumidifiers per calendar year). Rebate checks are mailed approximately 180 days after the pick-up. 

Eligible Equipment 

• Refrigerators and freezers must be between 10 and 30 cubic feet in size. Room air conditioners must be removed from windows, and dehumidifiers should be drained of water.

• All appliances must be owned by the customer and operational at the time of pick up.

• You must provide clear and safe access to your appliance(s) for the removal team. Personnel will not risk injury, or be able to move personal effects, or otherwise modify your home (e.g., remove door or railings) to remove the unit.

• An adult, 18 years of age or older, must be present to sign the release form.
