BC Hydro’s Fridge Buy Back Program 

Get rid of your old fridge and make $30. 

If you have a fridge that measures between 10-24 cubic feet* and is clean and still in working condition, BC Hydro will pick it up, recycle it, and give you $30 for it. Your energy guzzling spare fridge could be costing you up to $100 a year to operate. Save yourself the expense, give us a call and we will get rid of it.  

Refrigerators are one of the highest energy users in your home. If all spare operating fridges were recycled in British Columbia, enough energy would be saved to power all the homes in the City of Chilliwack for an entire year. Using environmentally sound methods, we’ll safely recycle the ozone-depleting refrigerant and metal. And by lowering your energy consumption, you’ll help delay the need for new generating facilities. 

To arrange for a free pick up of your spare working fridge, call 604-881-4357 and please have your BC Hydro customer account number on hand. 

For more information, please visit BC Hydro’s website.

*Maximum two residential use fridges per BC Hydro customer account. Fridges must be clean and in working condition. Fridge size limits: Interior volume of 10-24 cubic feet (please check size). Bar-size, Sub-zero, and commercial fridges excluded.
