      ARCA Recycling is contracted with my electric company (Eversource) to come pickup old appliance and issue a rebate. I called and scheduled a pickup. The first available pickup was 3 weeks out. I scheduled and waited. As my pickup date approached I called and setup a "Contactless Pickup", which means the refrigerator needed to be outside AND plugged in. 7/28/23 was the date, and they no showed and no called. I called and rescheduled for 8/1/23. They again no called and no showed. They keep saying the route has been canceled. The next available appointment is another 3 weeks out (if I schedule whos to say they don't cancel again). My refrigerator has been out in the summer heat running not stop sucking electricity (because appliances need to be plugged in and in working order for rebate to be issued). I have tried speaking with multiple supervisors and have gotten nowhere. I would just like them to pick up my appliance. Thanks.

      I live in Massachusetts and ARCA is contracted to recycle old appliances. I called them with my appropriate electrical company's account information however they said they couldn't verify my information and would need a couple of days. I didn't hear back for two weeks. I left them two messages. I finally received a return call and they were able to verify my information and they scheduled an appliance pick-up. I received a call the day before from ARCA claiming that once again they couldn't verify my account information and would be cancelling my scheduled pick-up. It took another two weeks for someone to again, verify my account information. I schedule another pick-up. They agreed that they would give me a 30 minute courtesy call when they were on there way. I received a call during the allotted time from the pick-up team saying there were outside my door. I told them I was ten minutes away and asked them to wait. They said they couldn't wait and I would need to reschedule. I was able to speak with a supervisor who apologized for not offer the courtesy call. And at the same time rescheduled another pick-up date. Sure enough, on the scheduled date, they pick-up team did NOT give me a courtesy called but called when they were outside my door. This time, after pleading they agreed to wait 15 minutes. However when I got there they said because the unit is on the third floor walk-up, they could not accept it. They only will collect from two floors up. I was very clear when I scheduled the pick-up what floor I was on. And I believe that is one of the questions they ask. So they left.....not with my appliance unfortunately. I asked to speak to a supervisor again and requested they file a formal complaint. They said they would do that and someone would reach out to me. Haven't heard anything yet.
