BGE residential customers can receive $25 per
air conditioning unit or dehumidifier recycled
Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) today announced that it
will hold a recycling drop-off event in Bel Air, Md., this Saturday
where BGE customers can drop off their old working room air
conditioning units and dehumidifiers for recycling. For each
appliance recycled, customers will receive a $25 reward from the
BGE Smart Energy Savers Program® for up to two air conditioning
units and/or dehumidifiers per residential account.
The event will be part of Healthy Harford Day and is scheduled
for Saturday, September 24 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 212 S. Bond
Street, Bel Air, Md. 21014. The event will be held rain or shine,
and BGE representatives will be on hand to unload the eligible
appliances from customers’ vehicles.
Units must be in working condition to be eligible. Customers
will receive a check for $25 in the mail approximately four to six
weeks after the event. More information is available at
BGESmartEnergy.com/RecycleMyAC or by calling 866.898.1901. BGE held
a similar event in Howard County in June that resulted in customers
recycling over 90 old room A/C and dehumidifiers.
“This event will provide customers in the northern part of the
service area with a quick, easy and environmentally friendly way to
dispose of their old units,” said Chris Walls, manager of
residential energy efficient programs for BGE. “Recycling your old
appliances helps prevent them from entering landfills, where they
can release harmful toxins and greenhouse gases into the
environment. By participating in this event, BGE customers are
helping Maryland reduce energy use and waste.”
The BGE Smart Energy Savers Program also offers a $50 reward for
recycling old working refrigerators and freezers. To participate,
customers can contact BGE to schedule a pickup, and BGE will haul
away their old refrigerators and freezers at no additional cost.
Each household is limited to recycling two refrigerators or
freezers through this program. Appliances must be in working
(cooling) condition and measure 10 to 30 cubic feet, which is the
standard size for most refrigerators and freezers. Room air
conditioning units and dehumidifiers also may be recycled through
this program, but only if picked up at the same time as an eligible
refrigerator or freezer. Appointments are required and can be
scheduled at BGERecycleMyOldFridge.com or by calling
866.898.1901.
The BGE Smart Energy Savers Program is a suite of programs that
enable customers to control energy use, leading to more efficient
use of electricity and lowering energy bills. The programs have
provided $373 million in rebates to BGE customers and have also
helped 1.5 million residential and business participants save more
than 2.3 million MWh of electricity. Collectively, the programs
help contain the cost of energy and improve reliability by reducing
peak demand for electricity and slowing the growth in energy
consumption. Energy-saving solutions are available to renters,
homeowners, large and small business customers, nonprofits and
institutional customers, and more information can be found at
BGESmartEnergy.com. These programs support the EmPOWER Maryland
Energy Efficiency Act.
