Trouble for Englewood-based Executive Recycling continues with four employees arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Jan. 23.

It is likely that the Highlands Ranch Community Association will drop the company on its electronics recycling days.

Carl Rusnok, spokesman for ICE, said the four were arrested during an investigation led by the Environmental Protection Agency with ICE.

Executive Recycling’s public troubles started in November, when “60 Minutes” investigated the company and followed a shipping container of computer monitors to southern China.

Owner Brandon Richter said he sold the container and its contents to a Canadian woman for $6,200. Richter said he had no idea that the container was being shipped overseas.

Rich Mylott, EPA spokesman, said that Executive had been the focus of investigations since at least September.

The film used featured an HRCA recycling drive.

HRCA scheduled two electronic waste collections for 2009. Three companies are under consideration.

Executive was under consideration, but has been unable to provide HRCA with documentation of where the computer parts go.

Executive Recycling also refurbishes equipment and resells it.

“We would never endorse a company doing that,” said HRCA’s Jamie Noebel of the shipments to China. “We want papers that guarantee the end result (for the equipment). That’s tough though, because Executive Recycling does re-sell computers.”

Originally, HRCA selected them as a local company and for their efficient hard drive shredding, which destroys any information left on a computer.

The possibility of recovering data was a road block on the way to hosting a recycling day.
