Appliance recycling programming update
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have made the decision to pause our appliance recycling program.
If you have already received and cashed your rebate check successfully, no further action is needed.
If you have an outstanding rebate or never received your rebate check from ARCA Recycling please email Information@EfficiencyWorks.org so they can provide you with instructions on how to get a check re-issued.
If you deposited your rebate check from ARCA Recycling (from Citizens Alliance Bank) and were charged a bank fee for insufficient funds, please email us Information@EfficiencyWorks.org for instructions on how to get your initial rebate check re-issued plus reimbursement for a bank fee incurred as a direct result of this error. We will require documentation of bank fees incurred.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this unexpected situation has caused and thank you for your interest in the program. We are committed to offering you helpful programs and resources and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

When it rains and as snow melts, runoff carries pollutants such as oil, antifreeze and gas down storm drains, contaminating our rivers, streams and lakes. Don't drip and drive.
Using an ENERGY STAR® programmable thermostat or wifi thermostat can help you better control your home's comfort and utility costs.
Cleaning your dryer filter regularly prevents lint build ups that can reduce airflow resulting in clothes not drying completely.
