The Great Refrigerator Roundup Celebrates the Removal and Recycling of its 100,000th Fridge

"This is a great example of how conservation adds up for Ontarians," said George Smitherman, Deputy Premier and Minister of Energy and Infrastructure. "With the removal of these fridges, enough energy has been saved to power about 3,000 homes, nearly 100 new green collar jobs have been created and consumers collectively have saved about $3.5 million in energy costs in just one year."
