Refrigerator, Freezer & Room AC Recycling

Get up to a $35 Rebate

Recycle that old working refrigerator or freezer. If it's over 10 years old, it could be using up to three times more energy than newer models. We’ll pick it up and pay you $35.
Recycle that old room air conditioner that just blows tepid air. We'll pick it up and pay you $25.

Don't Trash It – Recycle It

Refrigerators and freezers have components that can be hazardous or toxic. Don't just throw them out with the regular trash, arrange a pickup and have them recycled safely.

Your refrigerator or freezer must be 10 to 30 cubic feet in size, empty and operational at the time of pickup
There is a limit of two refrigerators or freezers per customer, per year

Contact JACO Environmental, PG&E's recycling partner for a pickup
Allow approximately six to eight weeks after the pickup for PG&E to send you a check in the amount of $35 for each refrigerator or freezer, and $25 for each room AC
