Let us handle the heavy lifting. Schedule a free pickup to recycle your old refrigerators, freezers, mini fridges, room A/Cs or dehumidifiers. Appliances must be in working order at the time of pickup. You’ll receive a rebate of up to $35 for each qualifying unit. We’ll haul your appliance away to be responsibly recycled.
Does the appliance need to be in working condition? Yes, the purpose of this program is to get older working units off the energy grid and to help you lower your electric bill. If the appliance is not working, it is already off the grid and does not qualify for this program. Our recommendation is to contact your local waste management facility for information about responsibly disposing of your appliances.
Choose from two easy options
- In-home: Our trained crew will enter your home to pick up your appliance.
- Outdoor: Move your appliance(s) to an accessible outdoor location and we'll pick it up.

What large appliances qualify?
Both refrigerators and freezers qualify as large appliances, and you will receive a $35 rebate for each working appliance recycled.
- You may recycle up to 7 total qualifying large appliances during the current program phase, ending May 31, 2031.
- There’s no minimum number of appliances required for a large appliance pickup (refrigerators or freezers). You can also recycle multiple qualifying units at once (any combination of refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers or room A/Cs) and receive additional rebates.
- You must have an active electric account with PPL Electric Utilities at the address where you would like the appliance picked up.
- The refrigerator or freezer must be between 10 and 30 cubic feet in size.
- The refrigerator or freezer must be clean, empty and defrosted.
- Side-by-side refrigerators are considered one appliance.
Is my large appliance the right size for pickup?
Figure out if your old fridge or freezer is the correct size to be eligible for pickup by taking measurements of the inside of the appliance.
- Measure the width of the inside of your fridge in inches.
- Measure the depth of the inside of your fridge in inches.
- Measure the height of the inside of your fridge in inches.
- Multiply those three numbers together: [width] X [depth] X [height] = cubic inches
- Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet.
- If your refrigerator is between 10 and 30 cubic feet, it qualifies for a large appliance pickup and rebate.
What small appliances qualify?
Small appliances that qualify for pickup include dehumidifiers, mini fridges and room A/Cs. You will receive a $15 rebate for each working small appliance.
- You may schedule a home pickup when your small appliances are paired with a qualifying refrigerator or freezer.
- You may recycle up to 7 total qualifying appliances during the current program phase, ending May 31, 2031
- If you’d like to recycle a small appliance without a paired large appliance, register for one of our small appliance recycling events.
- You must have an active electric account with PPL Electric Utilities at the address where you would like the appliance picked up.
Responsible recycling
Appliance recycling is part of our mission to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ozone-depleting substances, safely recovering approximately 95% of materials. Those recovered materials can find new life in railroad cars, cement products, motorcycle parts, fan motors, computers and other useful products.
Benefits of recycling:
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions and protects the ozone layer
- Properly disposes of chemicals that can lead to harmful health effects
- Keeps hazardous materials out of landfills
- Saves energy and lowers electricity costs
