New Art Exhibit Promotes Fridge Recycling

by 08/27/08 1 Comment

Washington DC’s National Building Museum has a new exhibit with an old theme: obsolete refrigerators have been transformed into works of art that will be on display through September 2.

The exhibit is a promotion by the Department of Energy for its Recycle My Old Fridge campaign. There will be 50 decorated refrigerators on display, and visitors can vote on their top model. The winners will be announced on September 2.

Do you have an old refrigerator in need of recycling? Use Earth911 to find a refrigerator recycling location.
