What is the The Great Refrigerator Roundup Program?
Burlington Hydro, with support from the Ontario Power Authority, is making it simple for Ontarians to do their part to conserve energy and ease the strain on the electricity system by designing a program that offers to pick up older refrigerators and freezers as well as window air conditioners and small bar fridges from residents of Ontario, and fully decommission them in an environmentally friendly manner. The Great Refrigerator Roundup is a program designed to remove older, inefficient fridges and freezers from the electricity system. Generally, these older secondary fridges and freezers, located in basements or garages, are plugged in but rarely used. These older units typically use two to three times more electricity than new appliances.
