Puna residents can get $100 for recycling their old refrigerators and freezers this Saturday.
Hawaiʻi Energy's Rid-A-Fridge Program has recycled thousands of old fridges and freezers in an effort to keep them out of landfills. It has hosted drives on Hawaiʻi Island, Maui County and Oʻahu.
Puna residents can drop off any old, working unit at Keaʻau Middle School between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Hawaiʻi Energy will pay out $100 for each one.
