Simply schedule an appointment and we’ll pick up your old (working) fridge or freezer and recycle it at no cost. You’ll receive $25 — and the satisfaction of knowing you’re keeping a large appliance out of the landfill.
Recycling facts
The average older refrigerator contains more than 120 pounds of recyclable steel and other elements. Our technicians can recycle up to 95% of those materials, turning things like plastic, metals and glass into new appliances. Your old fridge or freezer may also contain refrigerants, oils, mercury and other toxic compounds that are harmful if not properly removed and recovered.
Easy, convenient and rewarding
All you have to do is schedule a free appointment, and we’ll pick up your old working fridge or freezer and give you $25. (Residential customers only.)
And when you’re ready to upgrade…
Older refrigerators use about 35% more energy than newer, more efficient models. According to ENERGY STAR®, upgrading to an efficient fridge could save you up to $220 in lifetime energy costs. Plus, Entergy Arkansas offers additional rebates when you purchase an ENERGY STAR certified compact, chest or upright freezer.
