Free Electronics Recycling

Monday is BLOG Action DayColleen wrote about it here It comes one day too late for me. 

TODAY is my Blog Action Day!

 

E-Waste - It's all those things you can't just toss in the garbage.  It's computers, it's cell phones, it's printers, scanners, even you mouse!

Here's your chance to get rid of those pesky old tech gadgets piling up in the garage.

Did you know it's illegal to throw out old cell phone batteries?  How about that old baby thermometer that you haven't used in years since you went thermal.  Toss it and you are breaking the law.  Really!

Well here's your chance to do some good for the planet, the country, the county, and even the landfill out in Martinez.  It's called E-Recycling, and the best part?  This weekend it's absolutely FREE! 

But wait!  there's more.  We've also set up a convenient drive thru.  How easy is that? recycling

Ok, how about this?    You have all weekend to do it.

Saturday, October 13th
9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Sunday, October 14th
9:00 am - 3:00 pm

 

For more details you can look here:

Just a few of the items they'll take...

  • Televisions
  • Monitors
  • Computer systems
  • Copy machines
  • Fax Machines
  • Printers
  • MP3 Players
  • Scanners
  • Video Game Consoles
  • Video Games
  • Household phones
  • Stereo Equipment
  • Miscellaneous wiring
  • CD's (players and discs)
  • DVD's (players and discs)
  • Computer components
    ( i.e. keyboards, mice,
    internet devices etc.)
  • Cellular Phones
    (batteries can be included)
  •  

    band This is a Win - Win - Win.  But there is one catch.  This is a fundraising effort put on to benefit the Ygnacio Valley High School Music Program.  The kids will be working it.  I'll be there to help Saturday morning.  But they'll be relying on your donations to make this successful.  The average cost per item you E-Recycle would normally cost you $25.   They've arranged to have that cost waived.  When you come to recycle could please consider donating that $25 to the kids.  You'll feel better.

    Mike,

    I have plenty to give. My kids get bored of things really quickly.

    Thanks for this,

    What a good idea!  I wish someone in our area would come up with something like that; I have a bunch of stuff that I could contribute.

    Very important!  I just took some electronic stuff to Santa Monica dump to be recycled.

    It is important not to throw electronics in the trash.  I actually wrote down another company name that actually comes to your home for pick up.  I will have to find it, as I happened to be following one of these trucks on the road in Marina Del Rey when I wrote the information down.

    Did you know that these products are full of Gold!!!  Seriously, the eletronic boards contain lot of gold....That's why everyone is getting into this business.  It's not environmental action it's capitalism.

    Brandon you are correct.  They are also full of lead, mercury and countless other materials that would leech into the water table.  If you could get just the gold out - you would still have to deal with the other materials.

    Make no mistake - All Business is founded on the idea of making a profit.  Mike Mueller, Inc. is in business to make a profit.  That doesn't mean we can't do some good along the way.
