ARCA Recycling Inc., a Minneapolis-based wholly owned subsidiary of Appliance Recycling Centers of America Inc., has announced it has signed contracts to manage turnkey appliance recycling programs for multiple utilities in five states: Delaware, Georgia, New Mexico, Maryland and Virginia.
These contracts vary in length and will take effect during the second quarter of 2016, beginning in early April. Some contracts resulted from ARCA Recycling’s work assisting utilities affected by the unexpected closure of Jaco Environmental Inc., a Mill Creek, Washington-based appliance recycler in November 2015. In many cases, ARCA Recycling says it was awarded long-term contracts after helping bridge the short-term service gap.
“We’re pleased to help utilities and their customers who were inconvenienced by disruptions to their programs,” says Edward R. (Jack) Cameron, ARCA Recycling president. “Since late last year we have been experiencing strong momentum and interest from utilities.”
As announced earlier this month, ARCA Recycling has been negotiating utility contracts that reflect the recycling industry’s changing landscape, notably the sharp decline in scrap metal prices the past two years.
Cameron adds, “These new contract wins in five states, combined with our pricing adjustments, give us optimism for financial improvements in fiscal 2016.”
ARCA says it is a leader in appliance recycling programs, supported by regional processing centers across the U.S. and utilizing state-of-the-art technology that removes environmentally damaging substances and produces byproducts for recycling.
