PSE&G offers free pickup and haul-away, disposal, and rebates for every qualifying unit.
If you’re ready to say goodbye to your outdated refrigerator or freezer and to start saving more on your energy costs, PSE&G’s Appliance Recycling Program makes it easy with free pickup, haul-away, and disposal.
Better yet, we’ll give you a $100 rebate for each qualifying appliance—plus an additional $35 rebate for each working room air conditioner or dehumidifier picked up at the same time.*
Schedule your appointment online or by calling 1-844-356-4608.
You must be a current PSE&G customer receiving residential electric service, or a Butler Electric customer receiving PSE&G residential gas service. Also, your refrigerator or freezer must be 10 to 30 cubic feet and in working order, you must be the owner of the appliances you want to recycle, and the appliances need to be located at your PSE&G service address.
Please note that Sub-Zero brand appliances are not eligible for this program, and that PSE&G cannot perform a pickup for only room air conditioners or dehumidifiers on their own.

Yes. We offer outdoor no-contact pickups. Outdoor pickups can be performed at designated locations such as garages, porches, and outbuildings. For indoor pickups, our removal team can wear masks at your request.
In compliance with the guidelines put in place by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Responsible Appliance Disposal (RAD) Program, Key Recycling recycles more than 95% of each large appliance at a facility in Pennsauken, New Jersey.
For the PSE&G Appliance Recycling Program, we are partnering with Key Recycling. All Key Recycling employees will wear uniforms and display photo identification.
We can help you recycle up to two refrigerators or freezers (and up to two room air conditioners or dehumidifiers during the same appointment) per household per year.
The appliances listed below are eligible:
Please note that no other appliance types are eligible for rebates, or for pickup and recycling, through our Appliance Recycling Program.
If the unit is not plugged in, the team will pick up your appliance and test it back at the recycling facility to ensure that it’s in working condition. If the unit is determined to not be in working condition at that time, you won’t be eligible for a rebate.
You’ll receive an authorization form via email when you schedule your appointment. For outdoor pickups, there must be a completed authorization form with one of the units being collected. Any appliance that isn’t listed on the completed authorization form cannot be collected. If the form isn’t present at the time of pickup, the collection team won’t be able to collect the unit, and your appointment will need to be rescheduled.
After our pickup, and once we confirm that your appliance is in working condition, we’ll mail a check to your address within six weeks.
This helps ensure that old appliances in working condition are taken off the energy grid entirely. That way, they can’t be resold on the secondhand market, where they could continue to operate inefficiently and waste energy.
No. Once your appliance has been picked up, we’re unable to return it regardless of the status of your rebate.
PSE&G properly recycles all appliances according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Responsible Appliance Disposal program guidelines.
