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 that use significantly more electricity than newer Energy Star® appliances.

If you, currently, own an older, inefficient refrigerator or freezer our "Pull the Plug" program offers an option 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.
