Recycle your fridge, get cash

(Albuquerque, NM) – PNM is increasing the amount of cash customers get for recycling their old fridge or freezer from $50 to $75. This offer will be available from August 1 through September 30. 

To take advantage of this opportunity, applicants must be a PNM residential electric customer, own the appliance, the appliance must be a regular household size (10-30 cubic feet), and the appliance must be working.

“This is a great opportunity for PNM customers,” said Alaric Babej Manager, Customer Program Marketing and Development for PNM. “This program does three things: It allows customers to save energy and make room in their homes by getting rid of an old inefficient appliance, it allows for the fridge to be recycled responsibly instead of taking up space in the landfill, and it puts $75 in the customers pocket within the month of pickup.”

To apply, customers can go to pnm.com/fridge and sign up for a pickup appointment. To make everyone as comfortable as possible, PNM offers two pickup options. One is an in-home pickup where a PNM representative will take the fridge right out of the home. The other is an outside pickup. Customers can place their unit outside, and a PNM representative won’t even have to enter the house.
