Appliance Recycling Program

 

Do you have an older, working appliance using energy in your home? While it may provide additional storage, it’s not worth the additional cost on your electric bill. By recycling your old appliance, you can save over $100* per year in energy costs, and we’ll give you a rebate through the Potomac Edison Appliance Recycling Program!   

Potomac Edison customers can receive $75 by recycling a working refrigerator or dehumidifier and receive $25 when recycling a working freezer, room air conditioner or mini refrigerator. Room air conditioners and mini refrigerators must be recycled along with a qualifying refrigerator, freezer or dehumidifier. 

 



or call 1-888-314-3132
