Appliance Turn-In Program

In light of the coronavirus health emergency we're committed to doing what's best for our customers and staff. Out of an abundance of caution, we are only collecting appliances from outside of customer residences (garage, patio, porch or behind garage) at this time. This allows our staff to safely collect and recycle your unit without physical contact with you. Thank you for your understanding.

Get $75 when you recycle your working fridge or freezer with Potomac Edison’s Appliance Recycling Program.


Got an older, working fridge or freezer hogging energy in your garage or basement? While it may provide additional storage, it’s not worth the additional cost on your electric bill. By recycling your old appliance, you can save over $100* per year in energy costs. Plus, we’ll give you an additional $75! We make it easy for you to save the environment… and your wallet.

Plus, recycle a working air conditioner, dehumidifier or mini refrigerator along with a qualifying refrigerator or freezer and you’ll get an additional $25 per unit.
