3 Reasons to Recycle Your Old Commercial Refrigerator

Upgrading your commercial kitchen? Adding new equipment to your store or restaurant? If so, you may be wondering what to do with your old commercial refrigerator!

3 Reasons to Recycle Your Old Commercial Refrigerator

We at East Coast Refrigeration urge you to recycle these appliances. Commercial refrigeration units often contain materials that can negatively impact the environment. Recycling is a better option than simply throwing it out, and here's why:

1. It's eco-friendly

Recycle your old refrigeration equipment to help protect the environment. This is especially important if your commercial refrigeration unit uses a toxic refrigerant.

2. You may be eligible for a rebate

Government and private rebates are available throughout the country. What could be better than getting cash for your old refrigeration equipment?

3. It's the law

Too many people don't know that older commercial refrigeration units are actually classified as hazardous waste. That's because they contain outdated, harmful refrigerant. Failing to properly dispose of your old commercial refrigeration is actually against the law.

To find a refrigerator or freezer recycling program near you, visit ENERGY STAR's website.

Not sure if it's time to recycle your commercial refrigeration equipment yet? It's possible that you simply need a quality repair. Contact East Coast Refrigeration to speak with our service team. We are experienced and factory trained on all major manufacturers.
