Clairmont Heights Civic Association

From state rep. Stephanie Stuckey Benfield: If you are a Georgia Power customer and have a working secondary refrigerator you want to recycle, take advantage of Georgia Power's Refrigerator Recycling Program. They will pick up and recycle your second refrigerator or freezer for free and give you $35.

Here is how it works: JACO Environmental, an appliance recycler, will pick up and recycle refrigerators and freezers that are empty, plugged in and working. This program is available to Georgia Power customers, on a first-come, first-served basis. Refrigerators and freezers must be 10-30 cubic feet in size and collection crews will need clear access to the unit. Customers must own the unit(s) being recycled. Limit two units per residential address per year. A check will be mailed to you in approximately 4-6 weeks after the appliance pickup.

Call (866) 446-9250 or go online to schedule your free pickup.
