Fridge Buyback Update

After a frantic Christmas Santa has a new job collecting working second fridges from Sydney resident's homes. Residents with working second fridges that are over 250 litres and 10 or more year's old can now have these old fridges collected by calling 1800 708 401.

Residents who are looking at ways to save money and to help the environment in the new year will be happy to know they can save $190 a year, on average, by turning off their second fridge and handing it into Fridge Buyback. These fridges have an average remaining life of eight years so residents will be saving around $1,500 based on today's electricity prices. In addition, if the fridge collection involves 6 or less stairs, residents will be eligible for a $35 rebate.

All fridges collected are degassed and the metals recycled. Inefficient old fridges produce around a tonne of greenhouse gases each year so handing in the fridge will help Santa fight climate change.
