The program allows participating electric customers who turn in operating but energy inefficient secondary refrigerators and freezers to get a $35 incentive for each qualifying appliance, with a maximum of two appliances per household per year.
ARCA will perform the in-home collection of qualifying refrigerators and freezers and recycle the units according to the Environmental Protection Agency guidelines at the established Springfield, Illinois recycling center.
ARCA president and CEO Edward Cameron said this program will be ARCA’s third large scale program in Illinois and the fifth program managed from its Springfield recycling center.
