If you have an old refrigerator or freezer in your garage or basement, taking up space and using up energy, you can now say "See ya later refrigerator" and earn a $30 cash incentive.
Why get rid of my old Refrigerator or Freezers? Older refrigerators and freezers, especially when used as second units and stored in hot garages, can be huge energy hogs. By discontinuing use of inefficient models, customers can get cash back, decrease their electricity bill, and help the environment.
What's my incentive? Customers get $30 cash back and free pick-up and recycling of their old refrigerators or freezers. And remember, when shopping for a new refrigerator look for ENERGY STAR® labeled models. You may be eligible for an incentive.
Which refrigerators/freezers qualify? Working refrigerators and freezers that are a minimum of 10 cubic feet in size, utilizing inside measurements. Please make sure your old unit is empty before it is picked up.
Who can participate? Residental electric customers of participating UAMPS partners.
How do I Apply? Customer participation is voluntary and is initiated by contacting UAMPS at 1-888-365-1558. Prior to calling to schedule a pick up of old refrigerator or freezer, customers should be prepared to:
State their electric utility
Account Number
Size of the appliance(s)
Age of the appliance(s)
How the appliance(s) is currently used
All this information will be used to determine eligibility of the customer and appliance(s).
This program is offered to a limited geographic area from October 15 and March 15 each year because of possible weather and/or road conditions. If you are not sure about your area, please call 1-888-365-1558. Customers must own the unit(s) being recycled. Limit four units per residential address. A check will be mailed to you within 6-8 weeks after the appliance collection. UAMPS has contracted with JACO, an appliance recycler, to pick up and recycle refrigerators and freezers.
