Old appliances not only drain a lot of energy, but often contain components that are harmful if not taken care of. Earn cash for recycling your appliance with Hawaii Energy (that’s right – we pay YOU!), and free haul-away service is also included. We’ll make sure your appliances are properly recycled and that you continue to see a lower electric bill for years to come.
