The great refrigerator roundup

That old, inefficient second fridge of yours is wasting up to $150 per year in electricity. Call us today and we’ll come pick it up for FREE – we’ll even haul it out of your basement for you. Then we’ll take care of it in an environmentally responsible manner.

When we’re finished recycling and reclaiming material, all that’s left for the landfill will just about fit inside a cowboy hat!
