$50 - Fridge / Freezers

$15 - Room A/C Unit/Dehumidifiers

Schedule your free pick-up by calling 866-341-8729 today.

Due to rising expenses, we can only pick up small appliances, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers when combined with the pick-up of at least one large appliance, such as a refrigerator or freezer.

Additionally, income qualified customers are now eligible to replace old, inefficient refrigerators free with a new ENERGYSTAR certified model through the Energy Smart Program. This program is only eligible for utility residential electric income qualified customers on a first come, first served basis.
