Appliance Recycling Centers of America (ARCA) Awarded Contract by Xcel Energy

Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. today announced that it has been awarded a contract by Xcel Energy to provide refrigerator recycling services for the utility’s residential electric customers in Colorado and New Mexico. The program is scheduled to begin on June 1, 2009 and run through December 31, 2010.

Through this program, participating utility customers who turn in operating but energy inefficient refrigerators will be eligible for a $35.00 incentive check. The incentive, which will be paid by Xcel Energy, is designed to offset the costs normally incurred when disposing of an old refrigerator, often in favor of a new and more energy efficient model. ARCA currently provides services for nineteen other electric utility programs in the U.S. and Canada.

Edward R. (Jack) Cameron, President and Chief Executive Officer, said:

“We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to provide turnkey appliance recycling services for this energy efficiency program sponsored by Xcel Energy. By capitalizing on ARCA’s extensive experience in high-volume, environmentally sound appliance recycling, Xcel Energy will reduce residential electricity demand, help lower their customers’ energy bills and provide public environmental benefits.”
