Arca Recycling Inc. opens recycling centers in Washington, California and New Jersey

Arca Recycling Inc., Minneapolis, a wholly owned subsidiary of JanOne Inc., will open three recycling centers in June and July to support growth in its recycling business and help Arca better serve its customers across North America.

The recycling facilities are in Kent, Washington; Tulare, California; and Hainesport, New Jersey. The company says the facilities will have the capacity of 100 units per day based on one shift. They will focus on appliance recycling for Central California, the greater Seattle area, Northern New Jersey and the greater Philadelphia area.

The company says it chose these locations to better serve our existing contracts with utilities to provide appliance recycling services for their customers. It also wants to establish presence in markets where it see a need for commercial appliance recycling services. The facilities will create 12 jobs between the three facilities and primarily serve the residential and commercial district.

The Hainesport, New Jersey center will be equipped with advanced appliance processing equipment, a technology that reduces the size of recyclable material by compaction and baling. Compacting materials recovered from appliances allows Arca Recycling to transport these materials more efficiently, reducing its carbon footprint and will provide cost savings on labor and transportation.

These recycling centers will support a range of Arca's services, including residential appliance recycling programs implemented on behalf of major electric utilities, Energy Star appliance replacement programs and appliance recycling on behalf of Arca's commercial clients.
