Free E-Waste Recycling Community Collection Event

Electronic discard is one of the fastest growing segments of this nation’s waste stream.  56% of American households have functional E-products that they no longer use.  70% are heavy metals, 40% are lead and mercury contents found in today’s landfills come from E-Waste.

New federal mandate requires that television stations switch from analog format to digital format, which means a greater number of televisions will become obsolete within the next several years.

 

What is “E-waste”?  E-Waste is any consumer electronic equipment that has reached its ‘end-of-life’ or ‘end-of-usage,’ whether in full or non-working condition. It includes most electronics or electric appliances with a cord or circuit board such as: Computer Monitors, Television sets, PC Systems, Printers, Laptops, Copiers, Scanners, Fax Machines, Toner, Cartridges, UPS & PDAs, Power Supplies, Main Frame Units, Networking Equipment, Mother Board Systems, VCR/VCD/DVD Players, Home Entertainment Systems, Landline and Cellular Phones, & Small Portable Devices.

We also accept car and forklift batteries. There is a $5.00 service fee for Microwave Ovens.

We do not accept Refrigerators, Washer and Dryers, Fluorescent Light Bulbs, and Household Batteries.

This event will be held at Target (Cal Oaks Plaza), 41040 California Oaks Rd in Murrieta on Saturday and Sunday, February 13-14th from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Proceeds benefit camp scholarships for at-risk kids to have a life changing experience at summer camp.
