For Summary Judgment For Dismissal of Litigation Filed By<br>
Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc.</font></b></p>

<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;October 26, 2006&#151;</font></b>Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc.
(Nasdaq Capital Market: ARCI) announced that on October 18 the U.S. District
Court for the Central District of California denied the motion for summary
judgment filed by JACO Environmental, Inc., in which JACO asked the Court to
dismiss ARCA&#146;s lawsuit that charges JACO with engaging in unfair business
practices in violation of federal and California laws by committing fraud on
the U.S. Patent Office in order to obtain a patent for a refrigerator recycling
method that was previously developed by ARCA.</p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a result of the Court&#146;s action, ARCA said its litigation against
JACO will proceed.&#160; ARCA is one of the
nation&#146;s largest recyclers of major household appliances for the energy
conservation programs of electric utilities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In its lawsuit, ARCA claims JACO used its fraudulently obtained patent
to misrepresent to potential customers the nature, characteristics and origin
of the subject matter of its patent.&#160;
ARCA is seeking permanent injunctive relief barring JACO and its
officers from engaging in unlawful business practices by claiming that it
invented appliance recycling methods and systems originally developed by
ARCA.&#160; ARCA is also seeking monetary
damages for JACO&#146;s unfair business practices.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In October 2005, JACO filed a public document indicating that it would
not seek to enforce the patent against ARCA and its customers.</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, ARCA&#146;s president and chief executive officer,
commented: &#147;We are extremely pleased by the Court&#146;s action to dismiss JACO&#146;s
motion for summary judgment, which</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">permits our lawsuit to proceed.&#160;
ARCA has been engaged in recycling appliances and disposing of hazardous
components for nearly 20 years, and has developed and implemented many
recycling methods and processes over that period of time.&#160; Based on our belief that the JACO patent is
based on methods and processes that ARCA developed, we will continue legal
efforts to bar JACO from using its patent in the course of its business and to
seek damages related to JACO&#146;s use of that fraudulently obtained patent for
marketing its recycling services.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Immediately following the denial of JACO&#146;s motion for summary judgment,
JACO and SEG Umwelt-Service/Basis of Mettlach, Germany (SEG) filed a patent
infringement lawsuit in Federal Court on October 24 against ARCA.&#160; The suit claims that ARCA has been using
refrigerator recycling systems and processes invented by SEG and protected by
two U.S. patents issued to SEG and exclusively licensed to JACO.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In commenting on the JACO lawsuit, Cameron said:&#160; &#147;We believe JACO&#146;s recent patent infringement
lawsuit is retaliatory in nature, given the Court&#146;s denial of JACO&#146;s request to
have our litigation dismissed.&#160; We intend
to vigorously defend ARCA against this baseless suit.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">About ARCA</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">ARCA (www.arcainc.com) is one of the nation&#146;s largest recyclers of
