EACR Inc. offers safe, compliant refrigerator recycling services for homes, businesses, and facilities across the East Coast. From commercial pickups to materials recovery, we handle every step responsibly so you don't have to.
Refrigerators may seem harmless once unplugged, but they contain refrigerants and materials that are harmful to both people and the planet.
If mishandled or illegally dumped, these substances can leak into the air, water, and soil—posing serious safety risks.
Improper disposal is also a legal liability. In fact, an old fridge can release greenhouse gases thousands of times more potent than CO₂ if mishandled.
That’s why EACR Inc. follows all applicable regulations, ensuring your refrigerator is responsibly dismantled, documented, and recycled.
Full-size home units of all makes, models, and conditions.
Units used in stores, cafés, and restaurants for merchandise or food storage.
Foodservice equipment with integrated cooling systems.
Bar-style and compact fridges commonly used in entertainment areas.
Compact appliances commonly found in dorms, offices, and breakrooms.
Recycling old refrigerators does more than just free up space—it saves serious energy. A single modern unit uses about 1,000 fewer kilowatt-hours per year than models made before 1990. Multiply that across thousands of outdated units, and the impact is huge. In fact, recycling just 20,000 older fridges saves enough energy to power 1,400 homes for a year—the same environmental benefit as taking 40,000 cars off the road.

We ask that all fridges and freezers be emptied of food, liquids, and loose items. You do not need to remove doors, hinges, or internal components—our trained staff will handle the rest during removal and processing.
