Refrigerator/Freezer Recycling Program in NJ

Refrigerator/Freezer Recycling Program


You'd be amazed at what your old refrigerator can save!
The Refrigerator/Freezer Recycling program is a new initiative from New Jersey's Clean Energy Program.  This program promotes responsible recycling of refrigerators and freezers in New Jersey and offers a $30 cash incentive.
Recycling your old refrigerator/freezer is easy, and you can earn money too.  It's simple. Here's how...
  • To arrange for a free pick up of your old refrigerator/freezer call 877-270-3520 or schedule online at JACO Environmental.
  • Get $30 cash back for recycling responsibly once your transaction is processed. 
  • Save up to $150 a year on energy costs by recycling an old fridge.
To Participate in this Initiative:
  • You must be a New Jersey resident and a customer of Atlantic City Electric, Jersey Central Power & Light, PSE&G, or Rockland Electric Company.
  • You must own the refrigerator or freezer being recycled.
  • Your refrigerator or freezer must be between 10 and 30 cubic feet in size.
  • Refrigerator and freezer must be in working condition.
  • Limit two units per residential address.
  • Restrictions may apply.
  • Incentives are processed within 90-120 days.
  • Customers of municipal electric utilities do not qualify.
Energy and Environmental Facts:
  • On average a newer refrigerator or freezer consumes 1,000 fewer kilowatt-hours annually than a refrigerator or freezer manufactured before 1990.
  • Recycling 20,000 older refrigerators or freezers will result in energy savings equal to the amount of power used in approximately 1,400 homes annually.
  • Recycling 20,000 older refrigerators or freezers would result in the avoidance of CO2 emissions equal to removing 40,000 cars from the road for one year.
