Pulling Rank
As with many of the lists Recycling Today produces, our editors rely heavily on figures supplied by recycling companies themselves. We do our best to verify this information, but it is a system that reflects the integrity of those participating.
Additionally, some companies were reluctant to provide information that would help to establish their ranking on our list of the largest electronics recyclers, which has led to their omission from this list. We hope that some of these companies will reconsider their policies for future editions of this list, so that we can provide our readers with the most accurate information possible.
If you work for or own a company that you suspect should be on this list but that was not contacted (or did not respond), please let us know. We will make sure to let our readers know. Managing Editor DeAnne Toto can be contacted via e-mail at dtoto@gie.net.
