Rare collection

The largest amount of electronics ever collected in California and Nevada within five hours was received by volunteers during mid-April’s Community eWaste Collection event, according to the final results. Roughly 2,000 cars dropped off 224,000 pounds of unwanted electronic waste for recycling. That included 993 televisions, 782 CRT monitors and 23,000 pounds of scrap metal. The annual event was held by Disability Resources/New2U Computers and Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful.
