GES is very proud to receive a letter of commendation from Congressman Ben Chandler of Kentucky’s Sixth District. Mr. Chandler writes:

I had the opportunity to tour your facility last year during the August recess and was very impressed by your commitment to ensure e-waste is recycled in a responsible manner. To know that GES has a zero waste policy which means no waste enters our landfills and requires the same from its downstream partners, makes me very proud to have your facility located in my district.
