Recycle your old refrigerator or freezer

Got an old inefficient fridge or freezer? Let us recycle it for you and get a $30 credit on your bill!

Some appliances continue to run long after they should have been unplugged.

Old refrigerators and freezers from the 60s, 70s and 80s, while still operating, can use three times the energy to keep items cool than current models. Buying old appliances at garage sales or passing them on to relatives just compounds energy inefficiency.

The refrigerant used in old refrigerators and freezers is classified as a greenhouse gas and should be kept out of the environment. Without proper decommissioning, the refrigerant gas in these old units often escape into the environment, creating problems with the earth’s atmosphere.

If you live in Clark County, are a utility customer, and have an old refrigerator or freezer that you no longer want, we will be happy to pick it up from your home at no charge and see that it is properly decommissioned by our contractor CFC Recycling. It must be at least 14 cubic feet in size and operational. We cannot accept broken refrigerators or freezers.
