The Simi Valley Education Foundation held its first-ever e-Waste Recycling Day last October, for items such as computers, laptops, monitors, televisions, scanners, cell phones, printers, fax machines, answering machines and keyboards.On May 16, 2009...we are doing it again!
Don't call it junk -- it's e-waste. In its prime, perhaps only a year or two ago, it was the largest monitor, the fastest computer, the "newest and latest” TV.
Today, it's e-waste: outdated, unwanted electronic equipment, plucked from closets, spare bedrooms and garages and now was recycled at this community-wide recycling day.
More than 106,000 pounds of e-waste was collected, sorted and recycled.
This Spring we are looking to do it again...this time BIGGER! And what's more -- all proceeds went directly to our public schools!
