CLARKSVILLE, IN (WAVE) – Old refrigerators are now as good as cash thanks to a recycling program offered by Duke Energy.

Duke Energy officials announced Tuesday they are operating the Filet-A-Fridge program, a recycling initiative that allows customers to donate old refrigerators and freezers for money. In return, the company will offer donors $30 checks toward the purchase of new energy-efficient models.

Organizers said the green initiative is good for the both the environment and consumers' wallets.

"It can be up to one hundred and fifty dollars per year in energy, so it represents a major energy saving [by] removing [old refrigerators] from your garage or basement," said Justin Rainer.

Rainer is a project manager for Jaco Environmental, a company that works with Duke Energy to recycle the outdated appliances.
