Electronic Recyclers International Receives Third Consecutive California WRAP Award for Waste Reduction.

FRESNO, Calif. -- Electronic Recyclers, Inc. (ERI), California's leading recycler of electronic waste, announced today that it has for the third consecutive year been named an honoree of the state's prestigious Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP).

The WRAP Awards are an annual program established in 1993 by the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) to recognize California businesses that have made outstanding efforts to reduce waste and send less garbage to state landfills.

"It is an honor and a privilege to once again be recognized by the State of California for our waste reduction efforts," said John S. Shegerian, ERI's Chairman and CEO. "Properly disposing of electronic waste and the hazards it presents to our environment is our day-to-day business - and we are passionate about doing everything we can outside of our business description to be a green organization as well. The reason we have once again received the WRAP award is because we are environmentally responsible in every aspect of our operations. From the electric forklifts in our facility to the energy efficient lighting to recycled office furniture to the fleet of hybrid cars our sales team drives, being green is something we instill among all our employees. We will exhibit our third consecutive WRAP Award with great pride."

According to the CIWMB, the WRAP awards are given to businesses that develop progressive and creative programs that reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. To show the State's appreciation of their efforts, ERI will receive an official WRAP award certificate and will become authorized to use the WRAP logo in advertising and promotion throughout 2009.

Now the largest recycler of electronic waste in the world, Fresno-headquartered Electronic Recyclers is licensed to de-manufacture and recycle televisions, computer monitors, computers, and other types of electronic equipment. ERI processes more than 10 million pounds of electronic waste per month.
