As the new president of Millennium, Dwire will be responsible for overseeing sales, processing, research and development, and all other aspects of business operations and strategy. Dwire will work directly under Jake Anderson, Millennium’s CEO and owner.

“I’m very excited that Shannon has accepted the leadership role here at Millennium,” Anderson said. “She has proven to be a trusted leader among our customers and employees, and brings a strong reputation for developing ideas and inspiring teams. Her background, training, skills and wealth of experience in the recycling industry are exactly the qualities Millennium needs as we approach our 20th year in business.”
