Recycle Your Old Electronics and Raise Money for College Scholarships

Cañada College will host an electronics recycling event on Friday, Jan. 15.

Did you know that nearly 70 percent of heavy metals in landfills comes from electronic waste? If you received new electronics this holiday season don't throw your old stuff away. Go green and recycle!

Cañada College is organizing a free electronic waste recycling event that not only helps the environment but will raise money for the school's Science & Technology Scholarship Fund. The more electronic waste the college captures, the more money it will make for scholarships.

Bring your old computers, desktops, laptops, PDAs, mice, keyboards, monitors and televisions, printers, copiers, fax machines, stereos, radios, telephones, cell phones, VCRs, DVD players and more to the college on Friday, Jan. 15 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and help Cañada College educate tomorrow's leaders. The recycling truck will be located in Lot 6 across from the baseball fields. Just follow the signs!
