Refrigerator and Freezer Recycling

Refrigerator Recycling

The hardest part of raising a fridge is knowing when to let go. One telltale sign is the amount of money it’s adding to your energy bill (see how much).

Once you realize it’s finally time for your old fridge or freezer to move out of the house, Energy Trust of Oregon is ready to help. Contact us to schedule a free pickup. We’ll handle all the heavy lifting and we’ll give you $40 just for recycling. It’s quick, easy and convenient.

Need more reasons to recycle? Consider that refrigerators built before 1993 can use three times more energy than new high-efficiency models, and by discontinuing use of a second fridge in your garage or basement you can save up to $200 annually. Fridge and freezer recycling also has a very positive environmental impact, as 95 percent of the components are reused.
