27, 2004&#151;</font></b>Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc.
(OTC BB: ARCI) today announced that it and Southern California Edison Company
(SCE) jointly received a Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">ARCA and SCE, which were among 29 recipients worldwide recognized for
their efforts in protecting the earth&#146;s climate and ozone layer, were honored
for recovering 23 tons of ozone-depleting materials through SCE&#146;s residential
refrigerator and freezer recycling program.&#160;
Since 1994, ARCA has recycled more than 400,000 inefficient
refrigerators and freezers in support of the SCE program.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Through SCE&#146;s residential appliance recycling program, customers are
paid to turn in their unwanted, working refrigerators or freezers.&#160; ARCA hauls away the old appliances at no cost
to the customer and recycles the units, using a special process at its Compton,
California, facility to recover chlorofluorocarbons from polyurethane foam
insulation that would otherwise have been released into the atmosphere.&#160; The recovered material is then used to
service refrigeration equipment.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Since older, less-efficient appliances use more energy to operate than
newer, ENERGY STAR&#174;-rated appliances, the use of energy-efficient appliances
can significantly reduce California&#146;s need to build new power plants and have a
significant impact on California&#146;s energy conservation efforts.</font></p>

commented: &#147;We are proud to be a part of SCE&#146;s efforts to conserve energy and
improve the environment, while also helping Californians save money on their
energy bills.&#160; At a time of rapidly
rising energy costs, SCE&#146;s efforts become all the more important, and we are
exploring opportunities for implementing similar residential energy
conservation programs in other parts of the country.&#148;</font></p>
