A Chance to Dispose of Electronic Waste
July 22, 2009
This weekend there will be an opportunity to dispose of the almost undisposable. I saw notices in the newspapers that both San Bernardino will have free electronic-waste recycling events on Saturday, July 25, from 91 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Redlands and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in San Bernardino. California law requires that electronic waste be properly disposed of and cannot be thrown into the regular trash.
The even in San Bernardino is being sponsored by and for the benefit of the Community and School Allianace (CaSA) as a fundraiser for mini grants to teachers. Last year they raised $1300. The droop off site will be the parking lot of the San Bernardino City Unified School District at 777 N. F Street in San Bernardino. Items accepted include computer monitors, televisions, PC systems, printers, laptops, copiers, scanners, home entertainment systems, toner cartridges, cell phones, FAX machines, Mainframe units, phone sets, lab testing equipment, VCR/VCD/DVD players and other small portable devices. They also accept microwave ovens, but there is a $5 processing fee for the ovens. Just bring your stuff to the cite and there will be volunteers on hand to unload it. For more information contact Greenview Resource Management at 562-372-2855 or http://www.greenviewresource.com/
The even in Redlands is sponsored by The Clean PC. They will be accepting pretty much the same categories of e-waste, but probably not microwave ovens. The Clean PC will be offering a free physical cleaning and inspection service to anyone who brings a computer. Other discounted services and refreshments will also be offered. The Clean PC is located at 250 West Stuart Avenue in Redlands.
If you miss these great recycling opportunities, do be aware that Goodwill Industries also accepts electronic waste at its drop off centers on a daily basis.
