• Your appliances will be picked up, at no charge, from the service address listed on your residential account. 
• Your appliance(s) must be in working condition and will be tested at our recycling facility. If the unit is found to not be in working condition, the appliance will not be eligible for an incentive.  
• You must own the large refrigerator, freezer, dehumidifier, room air conditioner, and/or mini refrigerator. 
• You must schedule your large refrigerator or freezer pick-up for us to pick up your air conditioner, dehumidifier, or mini refrigerator at the same time. 
• The large refrigerator and/or freezer must be 10 to 30 cubic feet. Large refrigerators and freezers are eligible for $50 per unit.  
• Mini refrigerators must be 3 – 9 cubic feet. Mini refrigerators are eligible for $25 per unit. 
• The large/mini refrigerator, freezer and/or dehumidifier must be cleaned out. 
• The large/mini refrigerator or freezer must be defrosted and dry, drip pan drained and water lines disconnected.

• In-Home Pickup Requirements: 
  • Elevator access is required for any large refrigerators or freezers located above the second floor. 
  • An adult age 18 or older must be present at the time of pickup. 
• Outside Pickup Requirements:
  • If the unit is located outside, ensure that the large/mini refrigerator or freezer is closed securely and cannot be opened by children.
  • If the unit is outside for pickup and no one is home, there must be an authorization form completed and placed inside the unit. The unit will not be collected if there is no authorization form. SMECO is not responsible for any stolen property left outside for the program.
• If you have scheduled an in-home pickup, our team will need to enter your home to collect your appliance. Masks can be worn by our team upon request. If you prefer to maintain your distance, you may schedule an outdoor pickup so you can stay inside your home while our team removes your appliance(s).
