Aug. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- (Las Vegas-NV) - AAEQ® Manufacturers and Recyclers, one of Nevada's leading scrap metal recycling companies, received the "Best Green Advocate" award from the Las Vegas Business Press as part of the newspaper's "Green Awards 2010." The awards are designed to recognize local businesses in pursuit of more eco-friendly practices. About 100 businesses and individuals were nominated in eight categories.

AAEQ was honored for its support of the "Don't Trash Nevada" program and for operating an environmentally responsible scrap-metal recycling center that removes toxic chemicals from air conditioners and other equipment before recycling. AAEQ also participates in Clark County’s lawnmower exchange program that lets consumers swap gasoline-powered mowers for a new zero-emission, cordless electric model at a greatly reduced price.

Scott Stolberg, president and CEO of AAEQ Manufacturers and Recyclers, accepted the award on behalf of the company. He says the honor helps validate the company's public image. "Today, the public sees us as more than an engine transmission recycler," explained Stolberg, "we're now recognized as a valued partner in their greening efforts."

Earlier this year AAEQ Manufacturers and Recyclers completed a $5 million capital improvement and expansion program. The capital investment by the company is the fulfillment of a five-year master plan to transform AAEQ into a full-service automotive salvage and scrap recycling business.

"We believe with the completion of our master plan and capital improvements along with being recognized as green advocates, that AAEQ is poised for even more growth in the future as we lead the 'green' revolution," said Stolberg.
