EERE Kicks Off Old Refrigerator Recycling Effort 
WASHINGTON, D.C. — On August 25, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) unveiled The Art of Recycling: The Coolest Show in Town, a special exhibit at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. Students, institutions, utility companies, private organizations, and individual artists will feature old refrigerators transformed into artistic displays as part of DOE's ENERGY STAR® Recycle My Old Fridge Campaign. The exhibit runs from August 25 - September 2.
"This event allows participants to express their creativity while bringing attention to the millions of wasteful refrigerators still in use," DOE Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Alexander "Andy" Karsner said. "An easy way for Americans to lower their electricity consumption would be to recycle that old second refrigerator or freezer, or to replace their current unit with a new ENERGY STAR unit."
