Community Invited to Recycling Event at Sacramento Shriners HC on Aug. 22

Do you have old cell phones taking up valuable drawer space? Still wondering what to do with the old computer thats still sitting in your garage? What about the worn out copier hiding in your office closet?

On Saturday, Aug. 22, Shriners Hospitals for Children Northern California invites you to E-rase your E-Waste. Those wishing to rid their homes and offices of the clutter of old, outdated electronic devices, may bring their old electronic equipment to a recycling event from 9 a.m. 5 p.m., at the Sacramento Shriners Hospital, 2425 Stockton Boulevard. Items accepted for recycling include televisions, monitors, computers, computer peripherals, copies, fax machines, VCR players, audio equipment, microwaves and more. Car batteries, large appliances, lawn mowers and yard equipment will not be accepted for recycling, according to event organizer Argosy E-cycling.

There is no fee for the recycling. The suggested donation for those who choose to erase their electronic waste is $5 per vehicle. All donations will benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children Northern California.
