The Great Refrigerator Roundup

That old, inefficient second fridge of yours is wasting up to $120 - $150 per year in electricity. Book an appointment today and we will come pick it up for FREE – we will even haul it out of your basement for you. Then we will take care of it in an environmentally responsible manner. When we are finished recycling and reclaiming material, all that’s left for the landfill will just about fit inside a cowboy hat!
