OVERVIEW
The Great Refrigerator Roundup is a program designed to remove older,
inefficient fridges and freezers from the electricity system. It
is a program that offers to pick up older refrigerators and freezers
as well as window air conditioners and dehumidifiers from residents of
Ontario, and fully decommission them in an environmentally friendly
manner.
ELIGIBILITY
To qualify for an appliance pick-up, you must be arranging for the
pickup of an appliance from the ‘primary appliance’ category below.
If you have at least one primary appliance to be picked up you may
include secondary appliances for pickup.
Primary appliance: Full sized refrigerators and full sized freezers
must be:
- between 10-27 cubic feet
- in working condition at the time of pick up
- 15 years of age or older
- located in a single-dwelling home, a townhouse or a duplex, triplex
or four-plex building (some apartments and condominiums that are over
three stories, may also qualify).
Secondary appliance is defined as a window air conditioner or
dehumidifier. These appliances must be:
- in working condition at time of pick up
- 10 years of age or older
- window air conditioners must be removed from the window prior to pick-up
*Note: Ammonia-based refrigerators are not eligible for pick up and
located near a power source.
BONUS
We will pick up your old fridge and recycle it for free
You would be helping the environment by reducing the impact of
electricity generation and by having the fridge, freezer or window air
conditioner decommissioned in an environmentally responsible way.
You would help to ensure that old appliances are not resold and put
back into the market wasting more energy.
