Appliance Recycling Rewards

Earn money for responsibly recycling your old appliances.

Do you have an extra fridge or freezer adding to your electric bill? Have you bought a new appliance but don’t know what to do with your old one? Now is the perfect time to retire your aging unit, save energy, and get rewarded!

Efficiency Smart will pick up your working appliance for free and pay you $100 for each eligible refrigerator, freezer, dehumidifier, or window air conditioner responsibly recycled.
