ARCA Signs Contract for California Recycling Program

Appliance Recycling Centers of America awarded contract for supporting California's statewide appliance recycling program

Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. has been awarded a contract by Southern California Edison Company for supporting the 2003 statewide recycling program in the territories served by Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric.

Since January 1, 2003, ARCA has been handling appliance recycling operations for this energy conservation initiative under an extension of the 2002 program. The 2003 program is scheduled to run through December 31 of this year.

Jack Cameron, ARCA's president and CEO, said, "We are extremely gratified to be continuing our work in support of California's statewide recycling program. By taking older, inefficient and working household appliances out of service, this initiative has a proven track record at reducing electricity consumption and controlling the need for building costly new power generation facilities. We at ARCA are proud to be associated with this successful energy conservation effort."

ARCA is one of the nation's largest recyclers of major household appliances for the energy conservation programs of electric utilities.
