CHS Earth Club Free E-Waste Event

    The CHS Earth Club would like to invite the public to get rid of old, broken electronics that need to be recycled.

   This event will take place on Saturday June 1, 2013, from 9 AM to 1 PM 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, etc.

   Pretty much anthing electronic!  Items NOT able to be recycled are batteries, smoke detectors, x-ray equipent, flourescent lights and ballasts.

   All you need to do is bring your e-waste items to Calaveras High School on June 1, 2013 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.
