North West REC and other Iowa RECs have partnered with Clear Result on "Pull the Plug," an appliance disposal and rebate program for REC members. This program is an incentive to upgrade old, energy-intensive appliances for newer, more efficient models; in the process, all North West REC members benefit from the resulting energy savings.

You may dispose of a refrigerator, freezer, or window air conditioner through this program, and receive a rebate check from North West REC.

Program Details

• The appliance must be in working condition
• Freezers and refrigerators must be empty and 10 cubic feet or larger
• There is no charge for the pick-up and disposal of the appliance
• The first step is to contact North West REC; after that, Clear Result will work with you to schedule pick-up, and provide all details
• You will receive a $25 rebate per appliance (up to 3 appliances per member, per year) for "pulling the plug" on that old appliance
