Get Paid to Recycle Your Fridge

Going Green-Twice!

If you’re replacing a working refrigerator in your home to improve the energy efficiency or due to a kitchen remodel, get paid for recycling it. No hauling required. They’ll pick up. Incentives and requirements vary between power supply companies. Here’s what Xcel Energy in Minnesota will do:

Excel Energy Refrigerator Recycling Program

$35 incentive check Must be cooling and capable of making ice Must be a secondary unit in the home for at least 6 months Must be 10-30 cubic feet One unit allowed per calendar year To qualify for the program, you must: 1) Be a residential electric customer of Xcel Energy. 2) Own the refrigerator and it must be picked up at a location listed on the billing account.

.
This is a nationwide program. I called to inquire about the secondary unit and learned that I could replace my primary (and only) refrigerator to qualify for this program. Learn more about the program by clicking on the links below.
