Say "See ya later, refrigerator" and earn a $30 cash incentive from Rocky Mountain Power.
Do you have an old refrigerator or freezer in your garage or basement that you’d like to get rid of? Or are you planning to buy a new refrigerator or freezer in the near future? If so, please contact us to pick up your old one. We’ll properly recycle your old unit, and you’ll receive a $30 cash incentive for taking part.

Why get rid of your old refrigerator or freezer?
Refrigerators built prior to 1990 can use two to three times more energy than a high-efficiency one built today. The average refrigerator or freezer uses about 2,280 kilowatt-hours annually. By discontinuing the use of a second refrigerator, you can save about $150 a year on your electricity bill.

Federal manufacturing codes were upgraded in 2001 so new models only use about 500 kilowatt-hours per year, or even less.

And when we say we’ll properly recycle your old refrigerator or freezer, we mean about 90 percent of it will be reused. This is important since old units are not biodegradable.

So you can do something good for yourself, good for the environment and lower your energy bills, too.

In addition to the $30 incentive, you’ll also receive a free kit at the time of pickup. The kit contains information on energy efficiency and tools to help you use less electricity.

Also, when shopping for a refrigerator or freezer, look for ENERGY STAR® labeled models.

What is eligible?
This program is offered to all Rocky Mountain Power residential customers in Utah and Idaho. Refrigerators must be in working condition and must be plugged in to verify they are working. Units a minimum of 10 cubic feet in size (based on inside measurements) qualify for the program. Please make sure your old unit is empty when it is picked up.

Do the bright thing. To schedule a pick up, sign up online  or call 1-866-899-5539.  

This program is offered to a limited geographic area from October 15 and March 15 each year because of possible weather and/or road conditions. If you are not sure about your area, please call 1-866-899-5539.

Customers must own the unit(s) being recycled. Limit two units per residential address. A check will be mailed to you within 4-6 weeks after the appliance collection. Rocky Mountain Power has contracted with JACO, an appliance recycler, to pick up and recycle refrigerators and freezers.
