On Saturday, April 24, Moraga Rotary will offer local residents a place to have their old electronic devices recycled in accordance with California law. No appointment is necessary. Residents may drop off their items from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Moraga Shopping Center adjacent to Moraga Road, on the site of the Farmers' Market.
Televisions, monitors, laptops, flat screens, cell phones, and ink jet cartridges may be dropped off at no charge, while CPU's, telephones, printers, copiers, DVD players, fax machines, VCR's, stereos, and video games will be subject to a $5 charge. Rotary thanks the Bruzzone family, owners of the Moraga Shopping Center, for supporting this community service.
Moraga Rotary held a very successful e-waste collection last September, which collected about 3700 pounds of TVs and CRTs, 720 pounds of computers, about 2,600 pounds of other electrical equipment, 36 pounds of wires, and even a resalable cell phone and a Pentium logic chip. All the material was safely disposed of according to California requirements by a licensed contractor.
Moraga Rotary is a local service club within Rotary International that meets Tuesday noons at the Soda Center at St. Mary's College. For information, please call Gary Irwin of Moraga Rotary at 925-376-7688.
