Why participation is important to you
  1. Old refrigerators and freezers are not bio-degradable.

  2. Old refrigerators and freezers typically use two times more electricity than newer models.


By everyone doing their part to conserve energy and recycle responsibly, New Jersey residents will reduce energy use and help protect the environment.
