MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ARCA
Recycling, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Appliance Recycling
Centers of America, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARCI), held a grand opening tour
Wednesday, July 24, 2019 at their new
Syracuse, NY recycling center. The
center will process appliances collected through new programs with
several of ARCA's local utility partners.
We anticipate that the Syracuse
facility will recycle approximately 18,000 refrigerator and
freezers annually, keeping over 1,300 tons of material out of
landfills and reducing emissions of ozone-depleting substances
found in refrigerants and foam insulation.
Those attending the tour observed demonstrations of ARCA
Recycling's EPA Responsible Appliance Disposal (RAD) compliant
appliance recycling processes designed to guarantee that all
appliances are fully de-manufactured, stripped of hazardous
materials, and disposed of in a safe and an environmentally
responsible manner.
"We are excited to work with ARCA on our new upstate New York
Refrigerator and Freezer Recycling Program," said Tom Baron, National Grid, Energy Efficiency Sr.
Program Manager. "It's an easy way for our customers to safely and
responsibly dispose of an outdated, inefficient appliance, save
energy and reduce electricity costs, and earn some money too. It's
good for our customers' wallets and it's good for the environment
by keeping the old clunkers out of landfills."

programs in North America with
over 90 utility programs in operation. To learn more about ARCA
