    Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business is Certified to R2/RIOS and ISO 14001

    It is official E-Waste Recyclers of Colorado a 18 month old Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business is Certified to R2/RIOS and ISO 14001. This is a great day for my company and I, thanks to everyone that made this possible. As far as I can tell we are the smallest and youngest company to ever be certified to this level.

    It took us one year and alot of money. It is hard and we hired help to get it done. The new law that is going into effect in June in Colorado is part of our push to get certified.
    Thanks Ken

    Unless a forum member complains, I'll leave this up although, technically, it violates about half a dozen terms of service provisions. Congratulations on getting certified, Ken.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Congrats...I was wondering if you would be willing to give a ball park figure on how much it cost for R2 compliance.
