PSE&G Resumes Free Appliance Recycling Program

NEWARK - PSE&G is resuming its popular Appliance Recycling Program, which offers customers rebates, as well as free pickup and haul-away of eligible refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers. 

The initiative, which is designed to help customers save both energy and money, has already recycled more than 19,000 appliances, providing an environmentally friendly solution for disposing of used appliances.  

PSE&G’s new partner for this program is Key Recycling, which will handle the pickup and recycling processes. Key Recycling has extensive experience supporting electric utilities in New Jersey, Maryland, and other regions, PSE&G officials said.

Customers can receive a $50 rebate for each working refrigerator or freezer recycled, and an additional $25 rebate for each working room air conditioner or dehumidifier picked up at the same time. Free pickup and haul-away are also provided. 

The program is open to PSE&G residential electric customers with a valid account number, as well as Butler Electric customers receiving PSE&G residential gas service.  

Eligible appliances include refrigerators and freezers between 10 to 30 cubic feet and room air conditioners and dehumidifiers. Once the appliances are picked up and confirmed to be in working condition, customers will receive rebate checks within six weeks.  

“We are happy to announce the relaunch of our Appliance Recycling Program with new partner Key Recycling,” said Rachael Fredericks, director, Energy Services at PSE&G. “Their proven history of performance in the industry ensures that our customers will receive top-notch service, and that the recycling process will be handled responsibly.”
