<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Minneapolis, MN&#151;June&nbsp;28, 2006&#151;</font></b>Appliance
Recycling Centers of America,&nbsp;Inc. (Nasdaq:&#160; ARCI) today announced that San Diego Gas&nbsp;&amp;
Electric Company (SDG&amp;E) has awarded ARCA a contract to continue to provide
appliance recycling services for the utility&#146;s energy efficiency program, which
has been extended through 2008.</p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under terms of the 2006-2008 contract, ARCA
expects to recycle approximately 17,000 old, inefficient but working
refrigerators, freezers and room air conditioners during each year of this
three-year contract for SDG&amp;E&#146;s residential and small commercial customers
in southern California. Since 2000, ARCA has recycled more than 70,000 working
but energy inefficient refrigerators, freezers and room air conditioners for
SDG&amp;E&#146;s customers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">SDG&amp;E, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, provides
electricity throughout San Diego County and southern Orange County. The utility
serves 3.3 million consumers through 1.3 million residential and business
accounts spanning a 4,100 square-mile area.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Edward R. (Jack) Cameron, president and chief executive
officer, said, &#147;We are gratified that SDG&amp;E has once again selected ARCA to
provide appliance recycling services in support of their energy<br><br></font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">ARCA (<u>www.arcainc.com</u>) is the nation&#146;s largest
recycler of major household appliances for the energy conservation programs of
electric utilities. Through its ApplianceSmart (<u>www.ApplianceSmart.com</u>)
operation, ARCA is also one of the nation&#146;s leading retailers of special-buy
household appliances, primarily those manufactured by Maytag, GE, Frigidaire
and Whirlpool. These special-buy appliances, which include close-outs, factory
overruns and scratch-and-dent units, typically are not integrated into the
manufacturer&#146;s normal distribution channel. ApplianceSmart sells these
virtually new appliances at a discount to full retail, offers a 100% money-back
guarantee and provides warranties on parts and labor. As of June&nbsp;2006,
ApplianceSmart is operating 13 factory outlets: five in the Minneapolis/St.
Paul market; three in the Columbus, Ohio, market; two in the Atlanta market;
two in San Antonio, Texas; and one in Los Angeles.</font></p>

not limited to: the strength of recycling programs, the growth of appliance
retail sales, the speed at which individual retail stores reach profitability,
and other factors discussed in the Company&#146;s filings with the Securities and
