Many residents may have received new electronic items over the holidays and are unsure of what to do with the old items. Do not throw them in the black or blue bins because they will end up in landfill.
A great alternative will take place at Paul Revere Charter Middle School on Saturday, January 20. E-waste will be accepted from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Revere, 1450 Allenford Avenue.
The e-waste will be handled in a way that protects the planet and creates jobs for people in Los Angeles who may have barriers to work. Sponsored by the L.A. Conservation Corps, questions can be answered by calling (213) 749-3601 Ext. 310 or by emailing jalvarez1@lacorps.com.
The following items will be accepted: desktop computers, smartphones, cellphones, LCD monitors and televisions, CRT televisions and monitors, tablets, GPS devices, hard drives, laptops, printers and scanners, digital cameras, DVD players, VHS players and stereos and keyboards and mice.
The following items will NOT BE ACCEPTED: refrigerators, air conditioners, alkaline batteries, light bulbs, thermostats, microwaves, curling irons, heaters or fans.
Great news! And enough time to get items gathered. Thank you.
