We are extremely proud he's here, and I'm confident his presence will help take us to yet another level." "Working with the EPA," said Shinault, "it became obvious to me in recent years that electronic waste is probably the most difficult waste-related problem we have as Americans. A number of individuals and organizations have been doing things about the problem, but in my estimation, nobody was doing it properly -- except for John Shegerian and Electronic Recyclers. I found myself working with John on some projects and it became a natural for me to step over and really help Electronic Recyclers set the standard. I'm excited to be a part of an organization that is truly blazing a trail in this new industry."
