Appliance Recycling

Keeping an old working appliance in your business may seem like a convenience - but if you compare its energy consumption with the amount of use it actually provides, it might not add up to such a bargain.

Alliant Energy-Interstate Power & Light has a solution for you. If you have a working refrigerator, freezer or window air conditioner you don't need, give us a call. We'll send a recycling contractor to pick up and dispose of your old appliance properly - and we'll give you a check in return.

How does the program work?

We partner with a recycling contractor to safely remove and dispose of working appliances currently in use, such as refrigerators, freezers and window air conditioners. The contractor picks up the appliance, and your business receives a check. Appliances must be in working order and currently in use.

Complete and submit Appliance Recycling request form or call 1-866-255-4268.

The recycling contractor will contact you to schedule an appointment.

Why should I recycle my old appliance?

Keeping a spare refrigerator or freezer running can add more than $100 a year to your electric bill.

In addition, it's important to make sure old refrigerators and freezers are disposed of carefully - the Freon used as the refrigerant can harm the environment.

How many appliances can I recycle?

Alliant Energy-IPL will pay for a maximum of two refrigerators, two freezers and two window air conditioners per address. Appliances must be 10 cubic ft. or larger, no commercial sizes.
