Electronic Recyclers Receives California's WRAP Award for Waste Reduction.

FRESNO, Calif. -- Electronic Recyclers, California's largest recycler of electronic waste, announced today that it has been named an honoree of this year'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 be recognized by the State of California for our waste reduction efforts," said John S. Shegerian, Electronic Recyclers' Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO. "Properly disposing of electronic waste and the hazards it presents to our environment is our day-to-day business. The reason we received the WRAP award is because we practice what we preach and are environmentally responsible in every aspect of our operations. From 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 - it's part of our DNA. It helps us keep our focus on the big picture and the reason ERI is in business in the first place. We will exhibit our 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, Electronic Recyclers will receive an official WRAP award certificate and will become authorized to use the WRAP logo in advertising and promotion.
