If you’re like me, you probably have a constant flow of new gadgets and gizmo’s coming into the house… and in turn, the desire to properly dispose of the ones needing to go, go, go.
So while Fall is here in Los Angeles, local city governments are now helping residents clear the clutter by sponsoring electronic recycling and shredding events. These events make it easy to stop and drop off items such as:
- televisions
- laptops
- DVD players
- fax machines
- telephones
- radios
- monitors
- cell phones
- stereos
- keyboards
- microwaves
- printers
- computers
- VCR players
- scanners
- mouse devices
Here’s a quick picture we snapped of the various phones we’ve collected from our client’s homes and offices. How could these babies get tossed into the trash unwanted and unloved? There is valuable copper in those cables and cords. So the drop off events are easy breezy and you’ll feel good because you will not be contributing hazards to our enviornment.
