Labor Day weekend takes place in just one week. With the holidays comes more people crowding the Jersey Shore beaches. But it also means big savings on home goods…like appliances. You might want to take advantage of these savings to upgrade your refrigerator or freezer. But what do you do with your old appliances? Oftentimes, they end up as extra storage in the garage. However, they are just as energy inefficient in the garage as they are in the house. This costs you even more money throughout the year. Atlantic City Electric to the rescue! Their ACE Appliance Recycling Program not only picks up your old appliances and hauls them away for free. But they also give you a little cash to put in your pocket.
ACE Appliance Recycling Program
How the Program Works
First, you purchase a new refrigerator or freezer. Then, you contact ACE to schedule a pick-up. In turn, ACE mails you a $50 rebate. Did you recently upgrade to a newer, more energy-efficient air conditioning unit or dehumidifier? Receive $25 for those, too. The only caveat is that each item must still be in working order. Simply contact Atlantic City Electric to arrange for a pickup either inside or out (your choice). They pick up from porches, garages, yards, or wherever you need them. When picking up inside, they maintain a six feet distance from residents to provide a contact-free pickup. All staff wears PPE during the entire process.
Why Recycle?
Recycling helps lower energy consumption as well as emissions of greenhouse gases and other ozone-depleting substances. Also, older refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioning units used PCBs, mercury, and other substances that could leach into the soil. When you recycle these household products, some of the materials (like copper, glass, aluminum, and plastic) can be repurposed for use in other products. This helps reduce the need to create new raw materials. In turn, this keeps more waste out of our landfills.
Contact Atlantic City Electric about the ACE Appliance Recycling Program today. If everyone participated in recycling in even small ways, we can create a mighty big impact on protecting our planet from harmful emissions. I promise to do my part. Will you do the same? Thank you.
