Conservation Programs : Responsible Appliance Recycling Program
Most old refrigerators and freezers are less efficient than newer models. If they aren't kept full, they're even more expensive to run. In fact, an old second refrigerator can cost customers $100 or more a year to operate - about twice as much as a new one. Aside from reducing energy costs, our Responsible Appliance Recycling Program provides customers with a way to responsibly reduce landfill use through the recycling of useful refrigerator and freezer parts and recovery of dangerous PCBs and ozone-damaging CFCs. Best of all, the newer models you replace them with will cost you less to operate. That means the monetary savings will go on and on. Any residential customer of Menasha Utilities is eligible to participate in this program. A maximum of two appliances is allowed per customer, and scheduling an appliance pick-up is fast and easy. Please note appliances need to be in working order. To start saving money on your energy bills, contact Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. (ARCA) at their toll free number, (800) 922-3744 to schedule a pick up. You will need to provide ARCA with your account number. You can also schedule or pre-qualify appliances for pick-up via their web site at ARCA Inc. Menasha Utilities and our power supplier, WPPI Energy, are now partners in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Responsible Appliance Disposal (RAD) Program. The goal of our appliance recycling program is to promote energy conservation by reducing consumption and at the same time, reduce emissions of ozone-depleting substances and green house gases through the collection and proper disposal of refrigerated appliances. There are no costs to you for utilizing this program! |
