Why Recycle?

Efficiency Smart's Appliance Recycling Rewards program ensures that your appliance is properly disposed of, helping to prevent hazardous materials from entering a landfill. Properly recycling old units also permanently removes them from the electric grid, helping to reduce your community's energy needs.

Upgrading to a New Unit?

You may be eligible for a rebate on your new appliance! Check out our Home Energy Rebates page for information on all available rebates.

I was so thankful for this service. They came to pick up my stand up freezer in a timely manner and they were so professional and respectful. The check came in just a few days after. Thank you so much for this service and I will be telling everyone what a great recycling program this is.
