MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

ARCA Recycling, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. ARCI, recently signed new contracts to manage turnkey appliance recycling programs for seven utilities in eight states: California, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington and West Virginia.

These multi-year contracts, which vary in length, will begin during the second and third quarters of 2016. All seven contracts encompass appliance recycling; one contract also includes appliance replacement.

"Utility interest in our recycling programs remains heavy," said Edward R. (Jack) Cameron, ARCA Recycling's President. "We appreciate the time, effort and financial resources our utility partners are investing in energy-efficiency programs with important environmental benefits.

"During this busy start-up period, I also want to recognize ARCA personnel for successfully managing higher volumes in our call centers and handling additional appliances through both our existing and newly opened recycling facilities," noted Cameron. He added that ARCA Recycling has been especially busy since last fall helping utilities impacted when another recycling firm suspended its activity.

On April 1, ARCA Recycling launched seven turnkey appliance recycling programs, which was the largest one-day roll-out in company history. Most of these programs were announced in March.

ARCA has nearly 40 years of leadership in appliance recycling, including regional processing centers across the U.S. and state-of-the-art technology that removes environmentally damaging substances and produces byproducts for recycling.
