Recycle your old working fridge or freezer

3/8/2018

 
Recycle your old working fridge or freezer and get a $75 rebate and free pickup from PECO.

Old refrigerators and freezers can consume as much as four times more energy than newer models and could be costing you up to $150 a year in electricity. Let PECO recycle your old, working fridge or freezer, and they'll pay you a rebate.  Schedule a pick up at peco.com.
Get $75
PECO will pick up your old, working fridge or freezer, recycle it and send you $75. Plus get another $10 for recycling a working room air conditioner at the same time.

To schedule an appointment, be sure you have your electric bill account number handy. To look up your bill account number, go to peco.com. Also, you will need the make, model and size of the unit, which must be between 10 and 30 cubic feet and working at the time of pickup.
Offer Details
  • FREE pickup.
  • $75 for each working refrigerator and freezer (limit 2 per account holder per year).
  • Dismantling, recycling and disposal of all parts in an environmentally responsible way to reduce the amount of landfill waste.
  • FREE pickup plus an additional $10 for a working room air conditioner when you schedule a refrigerator or freezer pickup.
Eligibility
  • You must receive residential electric service from PECO, you must own the unit(s) being recycled and the unit(s) must be located at the address with the qualifying account.
  • Refrigerator or freezer must be between 10 and 30 cubic feet (interior) in size, empty, defrosted and working at the time of pickup.
  • Unit(s) must be accessible with a clear and safe path for removal. The removal team will not risk injury, remove personal effects or modify your home (e.g. remove doors or railings) to remove the unit(s).

Reduce your own environmental impact by walking or cycling whenever possible.

Picture
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ National Household Travel Survey (2009) found that Americans took 1.1 billion trips a day, and that over 83% of those took place in personal vehicles (cars, vans, light trucks).





The EPA attributes 26% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the US to transportation, and the
Department of Transportation reports that car transportation is by far the largest source of household carbon emissions, accounting for an estimated 47% of the carbon footprint for a typical American family with two cars. This means that reducing our use of cars is one of the most effective ways to reduce carbon emissions in our day-to-day lives.
The health benefits of walking, in particular, are well documented. It’s not just good for the planet – it’s good for your physical and mental wellbeing, too!
