Edward R. (Jack) Cameron
President and Chief Executive Officer
Chairman of the Board

Jack Cameron is ARCA’s president and chief executive officer and focuses on new business development, strategic planning and ground-breaking developments in environmentally responsible recycling and energy efficiency industry standards. In 1976 Cameron founded the company that is now called Appliance Recycling Centers of America. He is a pioneer and authority in the energy-efficiency-through-appliance-recycling industry and has developed and continues to identify new solutions for environmentally sound methods for retiring, disassembling, processing, recycling and disposing of all parts of unwanted appliances.

Cameron also oversees strategic planning for the company’s ApplianceSmart Factory Outlet chain of retail stores, which sells new in-the-box and new distressed appliances that ARCA, working directly with major appliance manufacturers, offers consumers at prices discounted considerably from full retail. ApplianceSmart Factory Outlet stores sell only new appliances. Through relationships that Cameron has developed with major manufacturers, the company is also able to provide low-cost ENERGY STAR® appliances for utility replacement programs.

Since the late 1980s, Cameron has given dozens of presentations about the efficacy of appliance recycling programs at environmental, materials, utilities, governmental and energy venues and provided testimony for the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Consumer and Environmental Affairs. He was an early advocate for ensuring the proper handling of R-12 and CFC-11 from old refrigerators and freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers and the huge energy savings available to electric utilities by retiring these old appliances.

Cameron is a member of the Association of Energy Services Professionals and Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, and serves on the board of directors for MARTA buying group and PACER Center.

Cameron spent nine years as an account manager at Burroughs Corporation (a predecessor of Unisys Corporation). He also served as the national franchise sales manager at National Self-Service Postal Center, and spent four years in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry as executive vice president at both Air Flow Products, Inc. and TC Distributors, Inc.

Cameron holds a B.S. in Business Administration (Accounting) from Montana State University (Bozeman).
