PSEG Recycling Program
A free PSEG program where residents can schedule a free pick-up of refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers. They are offering a $150 rebate for fridges/ freezers and a $50 rebate for air conditioners and dehumidifiers picked up at the same time. You must be a current PSE&G customer receiving residential electric service, or a Butler Electric customer receiving PSE&G residential gas service. Also, your refrigerator or freezer must be 10 to 30 cubic feet and in working order, you must be the owner of the appliances you want to recycle, and the appliances need to be located at your PSE&G service address. Please note that Sub-Zero brand appliances are not eligible for this program, and that PSE&G cannot perform a pickup for only room air conditioners or dehumidifiers on their own. Use this link for more details.
