ARCA Enters Agreement

Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. announced that it has signed an agreement with Wisconsin Public Power Inc. to provide appliance recycling services through next year. WPPI, a statewide power company owned by 37 municipalities that operate electric utilities, supplies power to 145,000 homes and businesses throughout Wisconsin.

Edward Cameron, president and CEO, said, "WPPI's decision to offer appliance recycling program services to its members is a good indication of the benefits utilities realize when energy-inefficient appliances are removed from operation. We are pleased by the number of WPPI's member utilities that have chosen to participate in the residential appliance recycling program at its onset and are encouraged by the potential for expansion as additional member utilities consider adding the program to their mix of energy-efficiency measures. Wisconsin residents who are given the opportunity to participate not only save money on their electricity bills, but also contribute to energy conservation and environmental protection."
