Why Recycle Your Old Refrigerator Or Freezer?

Energy Savings: Older model refrigerators or freezers consume two to four times more energy as compared to newer, more energy efficient models. Money Savings: By replacing your old refrigerator or freezer with a newer model, that has earned the government's ENERGY STAR® label, you can conserve energy and save up to $50/year! If your old refrigerator is a secondary unit located in your garage, you can save over $200/year on electricity charges by recycling it and not replacing it. Refrigerators or Freezers located in garages can work 30% harder during the summer than in an air conditioned home.
