Electronics Waste recycling Event
The CHS Earth Club would like to invite you to get rid of your old,
broken electronics to be recycled! This event will take place on
Saturday June 1 from 9am - 1pm in the lower parking lot of Calaveras
High school. E-Waste contains a variety of toxins which leech into the
environment when thrown into landfills and not properly disposed of.
Please bring the items to CHS to be recycled. This event offers you an
easy way to recycle any electronic device that is not useful or is no
longer working. Such items include televisions, computers, monitors,
printers, fax machines, radios, record players, tape players, CD
players, DVD players, telephones (landlines and cell), answering
machines, copiers. Pretty much anything electronic! Items NOT able to be
recycled are batteries, smoke detectors, x-ray equipment, fluorescent
lights and ballasts. All you need to do is bring your e-waste items to
Calaveras High School on June 1 and drop them off, no cost to you.
Onsite Electronics Recycling will be gathering the e-waste and hauling
it off. Please take advantage of this local, convenient event in San
Andreas to help ensure electronics are recycled and not tossed into our
landfills. The members of the Calaveras High Earth Club would like to
thank the community members for continuing efforts to recycle not only
electronics but also glass, plastic, aluminum and plastic bags.
