Bounty Program
We Pick Up, We Recycle, You Get Paid!
Hawaii Energy’s Bounty Program makes it easy for residential electric utility customers to surrender old, but working refrigerators and freezers. We will pick up and recycle old, working units for free and pay you a “bounty”:
-
Oahu households will receive $25.
-
Maui and Hawaii Island households will get $65.
-
This program is coming soon to Lanai and Molokai.
This is a total value of $150 or $190 to take an old “energy hog” refrigerator or freezer off the grid and start saving you money.
Scary Facts:
-
Twenty-year-old refrigerators can use two to three times more electricity than new ENERGY STAR® models.
-
Refrigerators and freezers that are more than 20 years old can cost $380 on Oahu, $420 on Maui, $490 on Hawaii Island, and $555 on Molokai and Lanai* to operate this year.

The Bounty Program is a residential incentive offered through June 22, 2012 or as long as funding lasts. Rewards are available on a first-come, first-served basis to electric utility account holders, with a limit of one refrigerator and one freezer per household. The appliances must be full size (at least 14 cubic feet) and currently in use to qualify. Call us for more information. Some restrictions may apply.
*Actual savings may vary depending on the age and condition of the removed appliance and the electricity rates of each island as of September 2011.
