Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. has been awarded two, three-year appliance recycling contracts by the city of Los Angeles’ Department of Water and Power. The contracts are valued at about $1.2 million. They are expected to start the first quarter of next year.
Under the Low Income Refrigerator Exchange Program, the DWP will provide new, super-efficient refrigerators at no cost to qualifying low-income customers in exchange for their older, working refrigerators that will be recycled by ARCA. Through the DWP's Refrigerator Turn-In and Recycling Program, qualifying customers will turn-in older, inefficient but working refrigerators and freezers that ARCA will also recycle.
