Austin Energy offers cash incentives for 14-to-27 cubic feet refrigerators/freezers that are in working condition.

Additionally, we will pick up units for free and dispose of them in an environmentally-sound way.

Turn in your old refrigerator/freezer to receive:

  • $50 per unit—for single-family residential customers
  • $35 per unit—for commercial customers and multi-family apartment communities with four or more dwellings

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

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.
