Free Appliance Recycling Available To Holmdel Locals Through June

HOLMDEL, NJ - Do you need a place to toss that old refrigerator or air conditioner? Thanks to a partnership between the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) and the state's Clean Energy Program, a solution has come just in time for spring cleaning.

Under the Clean Energy Program and BPU, residential customers of JCP&L are eligible to participate in an appliance recycling program through June 30. To date, New Jersey residents have recycled over 65,000 appliances through the program to make room for newer, more efficient appliances.

"In general, newer appliances consume less energy than older appliances," Holmdel Township wrote in a statement. "In addition to being more environmentally friendly, you can also save money on energy costs."

Eligible equipment includes:

• Refrigerators and freezers between 10 and 30 cubic feet in size
• Room air conditioners that have been removed from windows
• Dehumidifiers that have been drained of water

No costs are associated with recycling working appliances. In fact, residents can receive up to a $50 incentive to participate in the program, depending on the appliance. Appliance pick-up is safe and contact-free.

In addition to the appliance recycling program, residents may also qualify for residential rebates for the installation of energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment, washing machines and dryers rebates and and more.
