LADYSMITH, Wis. (WRN) — Cleanup has been completed at multiple Wisconsin locations where electronic waste was illegally dumped.
Those sites were connected to a criminal case against former state Senator Kevin Shibilski. Shibiliski was convicted of fraud for taking payments to process e-waste, but his company 5R Processors and related firms simply dumped the waste at sites in Ladysmith, West Bend, Glen Flora, and Catawba.
In all, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources spent $4.5 million to remove millions of pounds of old TVs, computer monitors, and other assorted waste.
Shibilski was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison in 2022.
