With energy conservation becoming one of the most important issues facing us throughout the United States, "Pull the Plug" programs were developed to provide our member-owners a financial incentive to properly recycle and dispose of older, inefficient refrigerators, freezers, and window air conditioning units that use significantly more electricity than newer Energy Star® appliances.

If you, currently, own an older, inefficient refrigerator, freezer, or window air conditioning unit, our "Pull the Plug" programs offer two options to recycle up to three of these types of appliances, per year, and earn up to $50, each, in rebates from the cooperative.

Qualifying refrigerator and freezer units must be owned by a cooperative member and equal to or greater than 10 cubic feet in size. All appliances must be in working order at time of removal. Appliances cannot be resold or used by other consumers and rebates will only be given to participants of our "Pull the Plug" programs.
