Get your old, working refrigerator recycled for FREE! Plus, get a $50 rebate for a new one!
SCE continuosily offers a FREE refrigerator pick-up program for all SCE customers in South Santa Barbara County that want to replace their older refrigerator or freezer with a more efficient appliance or dispose of a spare. In addition to picking up old, working units and recycling them, SCE will also pay $50 for a refrigerator and $50 for a freezer, limit two units per qualifying customer.
SCE will visit your home or business to haul away the old refrigerator or freezer. You will then receive a check by mail -- $50 for refrigerators and $50 for freezers (limit 2). Old appliances are dismantled at a recycling center where the metals and refrigerants are removed in an environmentally safe manner.
To qualify, residents and businesses must be an SCE customer, and the appliance must be located at an address in SCE's service territory. Refrigerators and freezers must be in working condition, plugged in and cooling for 24 hours prior to pick up so that the unit can be verified as still working. Only refrigerator or freezer units of 10 to 32 cubic feet will be accepted.
To participate, just schedule an appointment by going online or call 1-800-234-9722.
