Be green, save green with appliance recycling
If that old refrigerator of yours is past its prime and struggling to chill your beer and bratwurst, here are some cold facts.
PPL will take away that energy-hogging relic at no charge and send you a check for $35. You’ll also be helping the environment because the various parts of that icebox — including metal, glass, oil and insulation — get recovered and put to use making other products. Plus, the appliance doesn’t end up in a landfill.
The EPA estimates that more than 60 million refrigerators at least a decade old are plugged in across the U.S. And those fridges are costing their owners extra money to operate. The EPA reports an older refrigerator can use twice the power of a new ENERGY STAR® model.
Since 2009, our customers have recycled nearly 80,000 refrigerators. Add to that close to 20,000 freezers and nearly 11,000 room air conditioners and you’re on an earth-loving, greenhouse gas-reducing roll. Nearly 13,000 appliances were recycled in 2017.
Join the tens of thousands of customers who have already recycled their old appliances. Refrigerators and freezers must be in working order and between 10 and 30 cubic feet in size.
Please let me know when you would have a refrigerator recycle pickup in the Hatfield, Pa area. My address is 712 Quail Circle. I would like to get this scheduled, preferably on a Tuesday or Friday if at all possible.

My refrigerator and a/c was picked up on 11/20/2020. I was told that it would take 4-6 weeks to receive my check. To date it has not been received
