Did you know?
The average older refrigerator contains more than 120 pounds of recyclable steel. Our technicians can recycle up to 95% of the materials, turning things like plastic, metals and glass into new appliances. Your old fridge or freezer may also contain refrigerants, oils, mercury and other toxic compounds that are harmful if not properly removed and recovered.

And when you’re ready to upgrade…
Older refrigerators use about 35% more energy than newer, more efficient models. According to ENERGY STAR®, an efficient refrigerator could save you up to $260 per year on your energy bill! Plus, Entergy Arkansas offers additional rebates when you purchase an ENERGY STAR® certified compact, chest or upright freezer.
