A half-dozen Save Mart stores in California’s Central Valley will promote environmental safety in their communities by hosting e-waste recycling events this weekend in partnership with Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), a leading recycler of electronic waste. ERI recycles TVs, monitors, computers, cell phones, and other types of consumer electronics.
Electronic equipment contains environmentally damaging materials and can be harmful to human health if improperly discarded. It is illegal to throw away certain electronic items, such as TVs and computer monitors, with regular garbage or trash. These two-day events will allow residents in the communities that Save Mart serves to surrender their e-waste safely and legally. In addition, properly recycled e-waste yields valuable, reusable resources such as plastic, metal, and glass.
The following Save Mart stores will be set-up to receive e-waste on Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.:
- Los Banos – 1337 Pacheco Boulevard, 209-357-9840
