The Los Altos High School Associated Student Body with the help of Green Mouse Recycling (GMR) is sponsoring an Electronic Waste Collection Drive, Saturday, March 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Los Altos High School, 201 Almond Ave. Los Altos.
Community members are encouraged to bring their old, broken down or unused electronic appliances to the e-waste drive so that they can be properly recycled according to California state regulations, a representative from the school's ASB said. Items being collected include, but are not limited to: computers, laptops, televisions, DVD players, speakers, cables and microwaves.
The collection is a drive-in and drop-off event. The staff from GMR will handle all the unloading and sorting. GMR is a state-approved electronic waste recycling service for schools.
GMR can recycle items too large to bring to the collection drive. If the appliance weighs over 200 pounds, people in the Los Altos area can contact GMR and they will pick it up.
