SOS Launches its Refrigerator/Freezer Recycling Program

Starting in March 2010 and ending September 2011, Southern Oregon Sanitation will pick up refrigerators and freezers from Central Lincoln PUD customers wanting to recycle their appliance. In return, the customer receives a $30 credit on their power bill. The units must be in working condition and disabled upon collection (with the wires cut). Prior to pickup, the appliance must also be drained of Freon using EPA guidelines.

To take advantage of the refrigerator/freezer recycling program, contact SOS. You will be given instructions on how to prepare your appliance for pickup and where to place it. The hauler will arrive within 10 days of the call and will provide the appropriate paperwork.

Program partners of SOS are Central Lincoln PUD, Bonneville Power Administration and the Oregon Coast Garbage Haulers. Call 541-479-5335 for more information or to schedule a pickup.
