WHAT: Dunn & Son Recycling will hold a free two day electronic waste recycling event on Friday, July 27th at the Chuckchansi Casino from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and on Saturday, July 28th at their facility in Fresno from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Partnering with Fresno-based Electronic Recyclers, the event will provide local residents an opportunity to safely unload their old computers, VCRs, printers, television sets, stereos and other out-dated, unusable or unwanted electronic items for proper recycling.
It is illegal to simply throw an unwanted television or computer monitor in the trash in the state of California. Electronic items contain toxic elements like lead and mercury that are environmentally hazardous when they are dumped into landfills. By law, such products must now be recycled properly and in ways that won’t harm the environment.
The electronics collected will be trucked away and recycled by Electronic Recyclers, the largest recycler of electronic waste in California, at their state of the art facility in Fresno.
“We’re extremely proud to be helping with this special program,” said John S. Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers. “Dunn & Son are helping protect the environment by offering the community a convenient opportunity to safely dispose of their old electronics.”
