The public on Saturday, Feb. 20 will have the opportunity to recycle old computer monitors, televisions, cell phones and more in a free electronic waste recycling drive meant to benefit the environment.
The City of Mission Viejo and the Friends of the Mission Viejo Library are teaming up with All Green Electronics Recycling to host the E-waste Recycle Drive from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Mission Viejo Civic Center parking lot at 200 Civic Center.
The event is designed to give residents and businesses the opportunity to properly dispose of E-waste, which includes computers; laptops; monitors; keyboards; copiers; VCR’s; fax machines; cell phones; printers; scanners; hard drives; stereo equipment; cables and cords; shredders; microwaves; and more.
Most electronic goods contain materials that if put into a landfill could potentially affect the surrounding area. The free event will also help the City to remove the maximum amount of hazardous electronic waste from Mission Viejo. Recycling saves valuable landfill space and promotes a safer environment.
For more information, call 949 830-7100, extension 5130.
