Q. Do you recycle in my area?
A. Please visit ARCA service territories to find out where our recycling services are offered.

Q. Do you pick up appliances at curbside for the general public?
A. No, except in Riverside, California, where the city sponsors a program. Otherwise, we currently work only with electric utilities and other sponsors of energy efficiency programs.

Q. If you do not pick up appliances at curbside in my area, can I drop them off at your recycling center?
A. We do not accept drop-offs.

Q. How can I dispose of my old appliance if it isn’t working or if I don’t live in one of the areas you serve?
A. We suggest you contact your city or county government to find out if they provide an appliance recycling program for residents or offer a citywide cleanup day with appliance collection. You can also check with your waste hauler, who may recycle your appliance for a fee.

Q. What appliances do you recycle?
A. We are capable of recycling all types of major household appliances. However, the programs offered by our clients usually are limited to working refrigerators, freezers and/or window air conditioners.

Q. I have a used appliance that no longer works. Will you still take it?
A. Because we provide services for utility-sponsored energy efficiency programs, every appliance that we pick up must be operating (cooling), even if it is not running at full capacity.
