Recycle that old fridge and PNM pays you $100
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Now in July, customers can earn $100 by recycling their old working fridge or freezer. PNM will even pick it up for free.
New Mexicans who recycle their old units can have a tremendous positive impact on the environment. For example:
Each Fridge recycled keeps over 150 lbs. of material out of the waste stream.
Every ton of plastic recycled (approximately 80 fridges) saves 30 cubic yards of landfill space.
95% of the material in fridges and freezers processed in a recycling facility is recycled or disposed of in a safe manner.
“The Refrigerator Recycling Program is a great way for customers to save energy,” said Alaric Babej, Manager of Customer Program Marketing and Development for PNM. “PNM wants to make it easy for customers to get rid of an old unit that may not be running as efficiently as it could. By recycling a fridge through our program, customers are taking stress off their system and in turn, saving money on their bill. What makes this even better is that in July, customers will receive $100 instead of $75!”
