Recycling Old Appliances

In Utah, we offer incentives for recycling old refrigerators or freezers (see below) as well as room air conditioners.

Say "See ya later, refrigerator®" and earn $30

Do you have an old refrigerator or freezer in your garage or basement? Are you planning to buy a new refrigerator or freezer? Be wattsmart and contact us to pick up your old one. We'll properly recycle your old unit, and you'll receive $30 for taking part.

Why get rid of your old refrigerator or freezer?

• Save energy – Refrigerators built prior to 1990 can use two to three times more energy than a high-efficiency one built today. 
• Save money – By discontinuing the use of a second refrigerator, you can save up to $150 a year on your electricity bill.
• Protect the environment – When we say we'll properly recycle your old unit, we mean about 95 percent of it will be reused. This is important since old units are not biodegradable.
• Get paid – Receive a $30 incentive check.
• Free compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) – You'll also receive a free kit at the time of pickup, including two free CFLs and information to help you use less electricity.

What is eligible?

This program is offered to all Rocky Mountain Power residential customers in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. 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.

Remember, when shopping for a new refrigerator or freezer, look for ENERGY STAR® labeled models. You may be eligible for an incentive through our Home Energy Savings program.

To schedule a free pick up, sign up online or call toll free 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.
