Could you use an extra $50? It’s yours for the asking if you don’t really need that old, extra fridge or freezer in the garage or basement – and if you act now!

The Appliance Recycling Program helps Appalachian Power customers save money, conserve energy and protect the environment. Research has shown that most refrigerators and freezers kept as secondary units were built before current energy-efficiency standards and can use as much as three times the energy of newer, more efficient appliances. By removing an old refrigerator or freezer, participants can save up to $150 annually in energy costs.

The Appliance Recycling Program is available to residential customers of Appalachian Power. Size and other restrictions apply. For program requirements, visitwww.TakeChargeWV.com or call 1-888-277-0529.
