Why is Dayton Power and Light offering the program?

This is one of a series of programs that Dayton Power and Light is launching to help customers save money and energy. This program helps customers save by eliminating older, inefficient appliances. In turn, it reduces Dayton Power and Light’s overall energy needs.

This ultimately translates into reduced carbon emissions, reduced impact on the region’s natural resources, and delays the need for more power plants. In addition, the appliances are recycled in an environmentally-responsible manner and are not  returned to the used appliance market.

How much of the refrigerator or freezer is recycled and how does it benefit the environment?

Nearly 100 percent of each unit is recycled by JACO Environmental, a contractor hired to recycle refrigerators for Dayton Power and Light, at a Columbus, Ohio recycling facility. All recycling procedures follow guidelines and best practices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, allowing Dayton Power and Light to be a utility partner in the EPA’s Responsible Appliance Disposal Program.

JACO safely disposes of toxins and ozone-destroying chlorofluorocarbon (CFC-11) gases from foam insulation. After capturing toxins (oils, mercury, pcbs) and ozone-depleting substances, (CFC 11 and other foam insulation blowing agents and CFC 12 and other refrigerants) JACO recycles all the plastic, metals and glass in the refrigerators and freezers, thus limiting landfill waste.
