Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. has announced criminal charges against the owner and two managers of San Jose-based electronic waste recycler Tung Tai Group, after the company submitted $1 million in "fraudulent and fictitious" reimbursement claims for more than 2 million pounds of electronic waste that they never recycled.
"Tung Tai Group attempted to collect $1 million in fraudulent and fictitious state reimbursements for millions of pounds of electronic waste that didn't exist," Brown said. "This brazen scheme is a violation of state law and the public trust."
Among the charges include improper storage and handling of toxic materials. More.
This year the AG's office has already closed down illegal cans and bottles recycling operations in the state.
