Get rid of your old fridge and make $30

If you have a fridge that measures between 10-24 cubic feet* and is still in working condition, BC Hydro will pick it up, recycle it, and give you $30 for it.

To find out more call 604 881 4357 or 1 866 516 4357 outside the Lower Mainland.

Save money

Your energy guzzling spare fridge could be costing you up to $100 a year to operate. Save yourself the expense, give us a call and we will get rid of it.

Save energy

Refrigerators are one of the highest energy users in your home. If all spare operating fridges were recycled in British Columbia, enough energy would be saved to power all the homes in the City of Chilliwack for an entire year.

Save the environment

Using environmentally sound methods, we'll safely recycle the ozone-depleting refrigerant and metal. And by lowering your energy consumption, you'll help delay the need for new generating facilities.

To arrange for the free pick up of your spare working fridge, call 604 881 4357 or 1 866 516 4357 outside of the Lower Mainland and please have your BC Hydro or New Westminster customer account number on hand.

*Maximum two residential use fridges per BC Hydro customer account. Fridges must be in working condition. Fridge Size limits: Interior volume of 10-24 cubic feet (Bar-size, Sub-zero exceeding 24 cu ft and commercial fridges typically excluded, please check size.)
