Appliance Recycling Centers of America (ARCA), a provider of appliance recycling and appliance retailing services, has partnered with Focus on Energy, Wisconsin’s statewide energy efficiency and renewable energy program, to re-launch their popular Appliance Recycling Program.
Open to residents in participating utility service territories across Wisconsin, the program lets customers schedule a free pickup of their old, working refrigerator or freezer.
Appliances will be recycled and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. Customers will be awarded $35 per qualifying refrigerator or freezer recycled.
“ARCA is proud to work with Focus on Energy to serve Wisconsin residents, where this program will prevent recyclable materials in old appliances from entering the waste stream and landfills,” said JP Harper, ARCA’s senior vice president and chief operating officer.
“There are huge environmental benefits associated with recycling refrigerators and freezers, including reduced energy consumption and responsible management of hazardous materials. We look forward to this program making an impact in Wisconsin and helping reduce electric bills for state residents,” Harper added.
“Appliance Recycling is a program that has always been in high demand from both customers and our utility partners,” said Andrea Hansen, Focus on Energy’s Marketing & Communications director. “We are excited to be offering this program again as part of our Residential portfolio.”
