E-waste investigation, Part 1: Coloradans’ ‘recycled’ computers can end up in the third-world, local landfills

POSTED: 11/20/2010

ast-forward from TechnoRescue’s Earth Day event to this July, when an I-News camera found workers at the company’s Commerce City facility loading CRT monitors — short for cathode ray tube — into a shipping container. I-News tracked it to Hong Kong, where the government has banned the import of toxic e-waste, but the underground trade persists.

Allis said the shipment was arranged by a business partner and that he thought they had gone through government channels to make the shipment. They hadn’t. Hong Kong officials sent the shipment back, labelling it “waste,” and U.S. officials want more information.

The EPA is now also reviewing the July shipment of CRT monitors that I-News witnessed from the warehouse shared by Allis and his business partner.

Allis initially said that he and his business partner, Henry Renteria-Vigil, had followed EPA procedures for the shipment.

“I used to not ship anything overseas at all,” Allis said, “because I didn’t trust anybody. But after I learned I can get it cleared with the EPA, I’m shipping out those CRT monitors because there’s no better solution right now than to get them reused.”

But Allis later distanced himself from the shipment. He said that it came from Renteria-Vigil’s now-defunct company, Next Generation, which shared the same building, materials and workers as the other companies owned by the two men.

Renteria-Vigil and his business partner Allis said their new company, R2 Stewardship, will not send any more electronics overseas. “I think the perception,” Renteria-Vigil said, “of shipping overseas — people have a bad taste in their mouth.”
