Appliance Recycling Program
Recycle Refrigerators and Freezers – Get a $75 Rebate
Residential electric customers who recycle their old and inefficient working refrigerators or freezers will be offered no-cost pickup and removal - plus a $75 rebate.
How it works:
Step 1: Schedule your pickup
Step 2: Ensure you’re eligible
- You must be a valid Massachusetts residential electric account holder of National Grid
- Order must be placed between Jan 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025
- Refrigerators and freezers must be plugged in, working (cooling), and empty at the time of pick-up
- Size: The refrigerator or freezer must be a residential unit with a capacity between 10 and 30 cubic feet
- Location: The appliance must be located at your residence or business at the time of collection
- Please note: inside pick-ups are for locations with one flight of stairs or fewer. If there are more stairs, it will be the customer's responsibility to make the item accessible for outside pick-up. Per state laws, all doors must be removed from the refrigerator/freezer before placing it outside for pickup to avoid paying fines. Working dehumidifiers of any size will be accepted at select drop-off locations
- A maximum of two units per electric account per calendar year will be accepted
Step 3: Receive your rebate
- Receive your $75 rebate. Plus, get an additional $30 rebate when you recycle your dehumidifier with your fridge or freezer
