Many San Diego County residents had their homes either damaged or destroyed by recent fires and are now starting the road to recovery. Lots of services are available to assist folks get back on their feet.
A local company in the Carlsbad area is helping in a couple of ways!
Green Planet Solutions is an industrial and engineering consulting company based in Oceanside focusing on hazardous waste. They also offer programs to schools to teach about proper recycling, information on how to properly recycle hazardous products, and other services.
Green Planet Solutionsis helping the environment by collecting our e-waste so it won't end up in the landfill: computers, monitors, TVs, toys that are electrical in nature, DVD players, VCRs, car batteries, microwaves and much more (note - they do not accept washers, dryers, refrigerators or AC units, but provide a list on their site of companies that will pick these up, or residents can often arrange pick up from their respective towns).
You simply call the company at 760-639-0672 and they will pick up your e-waste for free in Oceanside, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Vista, Encinitas and Escondido.
The best part is these items that are in good working condition will be given to families in need due to losses from the fires. Items that are non-working will be transferred to E-World of Vista for appropriate destruction and disposal.
If you are in the local area (residences and small businesses) this is a great way to get rid of unwanted appliances, electronics and computers systems in an environmentally safe way AND help the families who have suffered losses from the fires. Green Planet Solutions deserves a big round of applause for their efforts!!

This is a very important post. I just gave it a "mental 5". It's the least I can do.
Waste disposal is one of the worst parts of disasters like Kartina, which has yet to be claaned up. I don't expect the recovery in CA to be nearly as bad or time consuming. But, you are right. Just getting rid of debris and recycling what can be, is hard but important work.
