Austin Energy is now offering to pay $50 for people who will recycle old refrigerators and freezers. In addition, the city will even come pick these units up from your house. The city is taking such an aggressive stance against these appliances because the old models are extremely energy inefficient, using two to three times more electricity than their modern counterparts. The city is also able to recycle 98 percent of the material from these old appliances while safely disposing of any harmful coolant chemicals.
To see if you and your old fridge qualify, visit Austin Energy’s website.
