Appliance Recycling Centers of America Inc. announced that Southern California Edison (SCE) has selected the Company to continue to provide appliance recycling services for the utility's Refrigerator and Freezer Recycling Program through March 2015. ARCA has provided recycling services for SCE's program since 1994. Through the program, participating SCE residential electric customers who turn in operating but energy inefficient refrigerators and freezers are eligible for a $35.00 rebate for each qualifying appliance.

Customers may turn in two qualifying appliances per year. Older refrigerators and freezers can use twice as much electricity as newer models, costing SCE customers up to $180 extra on their energy bills every year.
