2009 E-Waste Recycling Days Successful for SVEF & Simi Valley Community

The e-waste recycling days were a new venture for the Simi Valley Education Foundation (SVEF) this year, but they turned out to be an incredible way to connect with our community while raising much needed money for our schools. Co-Chairs, Karen Stewart & Jill Haney did an incredible job of organizing volunteers and coordinating efforts with our partners. The SVEF hosted two e-waste events during the 2008-09 school year, one in the Fall and then another this past Spring. Along with our recycling partner, e-Green and our many community partners we were able to help Simi Valley residence remove more than 149,000 pounds of e-waste from their homes and offices this year. The goal is to host another e-waste recycling event in the fall, so stay tuned.
