Council Services » Other Recycling Options   Council collaborates with many different organisations to ensure that residents have the option of recycling items that cannot be recycled through our kerbside collection service. Some of these programs are listed below. Fridge Buyback Program Fridge Buyback is a residential energy savings program that actually pays you to help save the environment and reduce your power bills by giving up your old second fridge or upright freezer. To participate in the program, your fridge must be: a working second fridge that has been in regular use; 200 litres or more in size; and built before 1996. Fridge Buyback can also now take upright freezers that have been in regular use, are 200 litres or more in size and built before 1996.   There are an estimated 2400 eligible fridges in the Lane Cove LGA.   If fridge removal involves six stairs or less, you'll receive a rebate of $35. If removal involves 20 stairs or more, a fee will apply.   For more information call 1800 708 401 or visit the Fridge Buyback website at www.fridgebuyback.com.au.    Fridge Buyback is an energy savings program operating under the NSW Government’s Energy Savings Scheme and is supported by Council.  The program is independently operated by Next Energy Pty Ltd.   MobileMuster Statistics and research suggest there are over 27, 000 mobiles in the households of the Lane Cove area.
