Every kilowatt Counts

An easy alternative to disposing of your old fridge or freezer has been introduced by the Ontario Power Authority which helps your avoid disposal charges and reduces the impact on our landfills.

You can book an appointment today and they will come pick it up for FREE – even haul it out of your basement for you and take care of it in an environmentally responsible manner.

Am I Eligible?

To qualify, you must have at least one appliance as shown in the "primary appliance" category below. If you have at least one "primary appliance," then we will also pick up window air conditioners and dehumidifiers.

Primary appliance: Full-sized refrigerators and full-sized freezers must be:

  • between 10-27 cubic feet
  • in working condition (plugged in 24 hrs prior to pick up)
  • 15 years of age or older.

Secondary appliance: Window air conditioners and dehumidifiers must be:

  • in working condition
  • 10 years of age or older
  • window air conditioners must be removed from the window prior to pick up and placed near a power source.
