Do you have an old second fridge in your basement or garage that you would like to get remove and get paid to get rid of it?
Manitoba Hydro has just the program for that.
Tracy Moroz, Manager of the Appliances and Electronics Market Programs Department, tells us about it.
“The program is designed to save energy and remove those often empty and unused out of sight and out of mind fridges in people’s basements and garages. We do target the program to the second fridges. The fridges people don’t know that are consuming needless energy. It’s not a replacement program; we really want those old fridges out of people’s basements and garages.”
Residents can call 1-855-537-4343 to verify that you qualify to book an appointment and they will come and remove the fridge out of your home for you.
Eligible participants will receive a $50 cheque and can save $100 yearly on their hydro bill by removing a second fridge.
Since the program was launched in 2011, over 2000 old fridges have been picked up in the Parkland.
