Refrigerator Recycling

Save your wallet and the environment with Xcel Energy’s Refrigerator Recycling program. And get a $50 thank-you check for recycling that old, energy guzzling fridge or freezer and letting us haul it away.

• Prevent emissions of green house gases and ozone-depleting refrigerants by preventing their release from refrigerants and insulating foams found in freezers and fridges
• Recycle metals, plastics and glass, saving landfill space and energy
• Save up to $100 a year in energy costs by reducing your consumption
• Save space in your garage or basement for your car, lawnmowers and more
• Get $50 for letting us haul your refrigerator or freezer away for free!

To participate in the Xcel Energy Refrigerator Recycling program you must:

• Be a residential electricity customer of Xcel Energy living in Colorado
• Provide a valid Xcel Energy account number
• Have the appliance picked up from the residential address listed on your billing account
• Own the refrigerator and/or freezer you are recycling
• Must be an operational refrigerator or a standalone freezer;
• Operational is defined as in working order. All units must be capable of cooling/freezing and the ability to make ice.
• Refrigerators must be plugged in the night before the pick-up date. The unit must demonstrate full operational capability when inspected at the time of pick up
• Only recycle two refrigerators and/or freezers per program year, per household.

The refrigerator/freezer to be recycled must be 10-30 cubic feet. Most miniature and commercially-sized refrigerators do not qualify. Freezers must be a standalone unit.
