Cool news: Appliance recycling is back
We’re happy to tell you that after a brief pause, our popular appliance recycling program is back.
So now there’s no excuse for hanging on to that old energy-guzzling refrigerator or freezer in the garage and basement.
While it might be a convenient place to store a few cold drinks, it could be costing you an extra $150 in energy bills each year.
The program is open to current PPL Electric Utilities residential customers. Refrigerators or freezers must be between 10 and 30 cubic feet and be in working condition. The must turn on, but they don’t have to cool to be eligible.
Saying goodbye is easy. Simply go to pplelectric.com/savings to schedule a pickup, or call 1-877-486-9204. We will arrive at your home on the scheduled date to haul away your old refrigerator or freezer for free, then you’ll receive a $35 incentive for each refrigerator or freezer you recycle. No heavy lifting – just $35 for you, plus energy savings.
Want to do even more? You may also recycle a room air conditioning unit at the same time we pick up your refrigerator or freezer and we’ll give you another $10.
Room air conditioners can only be recycled along with a refrigerator or freezer. We can’t pick them up separately.
Don’t let your old appliances waste any more of your energy or money. Schedule your free pickup today.

If I have multiple refrigerates will you still be able to take them or is there a time limit or count on how many you can recycle in 1 year?
Good Morning, there is no limit to the number of refrigerators you can recycle. We are happy to take them!
Have a wonderful day happy holidays to you!
When I scheduled my fridge pickup, was told to put on curb, basically front yard. Every reminder I’ve received says it has to be plugged in. Which is correct?
I also filled out the form, do I need a release on the fridge? If so, what should be on it?
Good Afternoon Gail, The refrigerator must be in working condition and not necessarily plugged in. While there is no release, please contact our Recycling Team at 1-877-486-9204 8am-6pm to confirm your scheduled pick up date and time. Thank you!
I have a small 3 cu ft refrigerator. Can that be picked up and is there any rebate?
Thanks Karl
Good Evening Karl, We are sorry to say the 3 cubic foot refrigerator does not meet the criteria for the rebate and free pick up. Under our program, the refrigerator or freezer must be between 10 and 30 cubic feet in size. So if you have a refrigerator or freezer in the future to recycle, please read more and set up an appointment for pick up under http://www.pplelectric.com/recycle. We appreciate you reaching out to us!
