Get $30.00 with the RG&E Refrigerator & Freezer Recycling Program



You can't even receive this much cash at a recycling scrap yard!!!!!

Requirements for Program Participation
1. The refrigerator or freezer must be clean and empty on the day of pick up, and in working condition.
2. The unit must meet the size requirement which is 10 cu ft - 30 cu ft.
3. You must have an active electric account with RG&E at the address where you would like us to pick up the refrigerator/freezer.
4. There is a limit of two (2) units per customer address per calendar year.
5. The unit must be a secondary unit for at least 6 months (not the primary refrigerator).
6. You must provide clear and safe access to your appliances for the removal team.
They will not risk injury or be able to move personal effects or modify your home
(e.g.: remove door or railings) to remove the unit(s).

7. Someone 18 years or older must be present to sign and release the unit.
Why participation is important to you
1. Old refrigerators and freezers are not bio-degradable.
2. Because of the way appliances have to be recycled, many recycling companies have to charge a fee to pick up and recycle your old appliances.
When you participate in this program, we pick it up and recycle your old refrigerator or freezer for free.
3. Old refrigerators and freezers typically use two times more electricity than newer models that are being produced today.
If everybody tries to do their part to conserve energy and to recycle responsibly, this could help manage our energy resources well into the future.

See The RG&E Appliance Recycling Rebate Program HEREAnd don't forget, a rebate of $30 will be given to you for your effort in recycling responsibly.
