Why Recycle Refrigerators/Freezers?

Save Energy
	After heating and air conditioning your home and heating your water, refrigerators/freezers use the most electricity in a home. Older models use two to three times more than new, energy-efficient models.
Save Money
	When located in garages, units can work 30% harder during the summer than in an air-conditioned home. This can add as much as $200 a year to your electric bill. Learn more with the ENERGY STAR® Refrigerator Retirement Savings Calculator.
Protect the Environment
	We reuse 98% of the material from old appliances. As part of the recycling process, we dispose correctly of all harmful refrigerants.
