On April 23, Rotary Club of Moraga collected from local citizens almost five tons of electronic waste, 9,627 pounds, and has recycled it according to California law. The four semi-annual e-waste collections held at the Moraga Shopping Center operated by Moraga Rotary have collected a total of about 15.75 tons of discarded electronic items. Rotarians working at this community service event were Lad Lynch, John Erickson, Cliff and Mary Elena Dochterman, Debbie and Lou Roessler, Kevin Reneau, Mike Rosa, Frank May, and chairman Rich Render.
Citizens dropped off their e-waste at the Moraga Shopping Center at the site where the Farmers Market is held on Sundays, no appointment required. Televisions, monitors, laptop computers, flat screens, cell phones, CPU's, cell and wired phones, printers, copiers, DVD players, fax machines, VCR's, stereos, ink jet cartridges, and video games were dropped off. Many items were dropped off at no charge, but there was a small charge for some items.
The next Moraga Rotary e-waste collection will be on September 24, 2011 in the same location, according to Render. Moraga Rotary thanks the Bruzzone family, owners of the Moraga Shopping Center, for supporting this vital community service, and thanks all the citizens who dropped off e-waste at these events.
Rotary Club of Moraga is a local service club within Rotary International that meets most Tuesdays at noon at St. Mary's College. For information, please call Gary Irwin of Moraga Rotary at 925-376-7688.
