ARCA said that Vermont Energy Investment is under contract with American Municipal Power to deliver the Efficiency Smart program.
ARCA will provide refrigerator and freezer recycling services for the participating SMUs’ residential electric customers in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The program began on 3 January 2011 and will run through 31 December 2013.
ARCA will perform the in-home collection of qualifying refrigerators and freezers and recycle the units according to the Environmental Protection Agency guidelines.
Together, the Efficiency Smart Appliance Recycling Initiative and ARCA will prevent more than 95% of the recyclable materials in old refrigerators and freezers from entering the waste stream.
