Advanced Technology Recycling
Downstate
E-Waste Recycling Collection and Processing Facility Established
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PONTIAC,
Illinois / PR FREE / Sept 13/2005—
B&K
Technology Solutions has been awarded 2 grants from the State of
Illinois for the Collection and Processing of E-Waste. Advanced
Technology Recycling-ATR, has been formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of B&K and operates in
the electronic collection and processing of post consumer
electronics covering all the downstate
Illinois geographic locations
between Chicago and St Louis. These 2 grants totaling over
$124,000 will assist in the purchase of equipment that will be
used in the collection and processing of E-Waste for the central
Illinois region.
“We are no
longer in a don’t ask don’t tell environment regarding disposal
of electronic equipment and look forward to working with the
Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO)
to reduce the amount of equipment that would otherwise end up in
the landfills” said Kenneth D. Ehresman, B&K’s Director of
Operations. “We challenge everyone to help divert electronics by
contacting collection and processing facilities such as
ourselves” The collection and processing expansion of B&K’s
traditional I.T. services business is a logical next step in the
refurbishment and remarketing of consumer electronics.
Ehresman
added, “In some instances, by acting quickly after equipment is
retired clients are able to realize monetary return into their
business through asset recovery services. These are dollars
that otherwise would be lost forever and can help offset the
cost of newer technology.” Asset Recovery is viewed as a
primary goal for ATR’s customers while minimizing the impact to
the environment of byproducts.
