Massachusetts Residents: Save some green by going green!
In an effort to encourage people to replace their old, energy guzzling washing machines, refrigerators, freezers, and dishwashers with new, energy-efficient models, the state has implemented the Great Appliance Exchange. "The purpose of the program is to take energy-inefficient clunkers out of commission so they won't be drawing energy," said Lisa Capone, press secretary at the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
Under the program, participating stores will deliver the new appliance and recycle the old one. The purchases must be made between the dates of April 22 (the 40th anniversary of Earth Day) and May 5 and delivery must take place by June 19. The program is on a first-come, first-served basis until the funds are depleted.
The program will offer rebates as follows:
Dishwashers - $250
Refrigerators - $200
Clothes Washers - $175
Freezers - $50
