Snohomish County PUD has extended a program with JACO Environmental, a local appliance recycler, which offers $30 to customers who give up their old refrigerators and freezers.
Since the program’s inception in 2004, the utility has collected about 10,000 energy-wasting units, which can use up to three times the energy of newer models. The program is scheduled to run through the end of 2009.
To have a refrigerator or freezer picked up and recycled, it needs to be in working condition and between 10 and 27 cubic feet. Units also must be 1995 models or older. The program is for Snohomish County PUD customers only. The $30 incentive check will be mailed to the customer within four to six weeks after the appliance collection.
For more details or to schedule an appliance pick-up, call 877-577-0510.
