REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER RECYCLING
This program facilitates the proper disposal of spare appliances and
encourages homeowners to replace older appliances. Replacing outdated
refrigerators and freezers with newer, more energy-efficient models
can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and household energy
costs. Refrigerators and freezers consume the most energy of all
household appliances and outdated models can consume three to four
times more energy than newer models.

Recycling large appliances is important because refrigerators and
freezers include toxic components that are not appropriate for
landfill disposal. However, pickup and service fees charged by
recycling companies can discourage individuals from discarding their
outdated and spare appliances. Homeowners can avoid these costs
through the BPU Large Appliance Early Retirement program and receive a
$50 cash incentive for each recycled appliance.
