FRIDGE AND FREEZER PICKUP Overview

Participation

If you have a fridge or freezer that’s 15 years or older, we’ll haul it out of your home and recycle it in an environmentally-friendly way for FREE. So you won’t have to pay or do a thing. And by ridding yourself of that old, energy-guzzling fridge, you could save up to $125 a year on your electricity costs.
