Did you know …

• Each old refrigerator or freezer requires an average of 700 to 1,600 kilowatt-hours to operate.
• If a spare refrigerator used in a basement or garage is removed and not replaced, energy savings can amount to 1,200 kWh/year, a $100 reduction in annual electricity charges.*

  *Actual energy and cost savings will vary by equipment model and region. These estimates are conservative and based on national averages (www.energystar.gov).

BGE is proud to help recycle household appliances to produce new raw materials of steel, aluminum, copper, glass, and plastic while providing a $50 incentive for each refrigerator/freezer! With BGE’s appliance recycling program, over 95% of the appliance is properly destroyed and recycled, thus preventing it from entering a landfill. Recycling appliances leads to an enormous reduction in both energy consumption and emissions of ozone depleting substances and greenhouse gases. Going green prevents the release of PCBs, mercury, and used oil into the environment. Let BGE pick up your old appliance and start saving the environment today!
