Consumers Energy is starting a new program to recycle “beer fridges.” Although they are not currently picking up refrigerators in Mount Pleasant, they will start by early next year.
Customers can find information on the Web site consumersenergy.com and will be contacted once the pickup starts locally, said Terri Mierzwa, Consumers Energy manager of marketing, energy efficiency and research.
