Appliance Recycling

An older refrigerator or freezer may use more energy than you realize. Through our Appliance Recycling Program, you can responsibly recycle an older, inefficient appliance to help reduce energy waste and potentially lower your energy costs. Actual energy and cost savings vary based on the appliance’s age, size, condition, and usage.

Residential and small commercial customers can participate in the Appliance Recycling program. Eligible customers will receive a one-time financial incentive for allowing LG&E and KU to safely dispose of and recycle select inefficient appliances.
