3. P. RECYCLING REFRIGERATORS

  • By properly recycling your old refrigerator and replacing it with a new refrigerator that has earned the ENERGY STAR, you can save between $200 and $1,100 and prevent 4,000 to 26,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.

    Note: Refrigerator dollar savings are based on replacing a pre-1993 or post-1995 refrigerator over the products lifetime (12 years). GHG emissions savings are due to recycling a pre-1993 and post-1995 and due to the energy savings from replacing the unit with an ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerator.
