Refrigerator and Freezer Recycling
Your old fridge or freezer can be costing you more than you realize (see how much). That’s why Energy Trust offers FREE refrigerator and freezer recycling to help you save money and energy. It’s quick and convenient—and you’ll get $50 for participating between now and December 31, 2010.
Refrigerators built before 1993 can use 2-3 times more energy than new high-efficiency models. If you recycle and replace your pre-1993 fridge and replace it with a new ENERGY STAR qualified model, you can save more than $100 a year on energy costs. Discontinue using a second fridge in your garage or basement and you can save up to $200 a year. When you recycle your old refrigerator or freezer, 95 percent of its components are reused, and the toxins and ozone-destroying gases from its foam insulation are disposed of safely.
