The Environmental Action Team (EAT) at La Center High School has partnered with Waste Connections to host an E-Cycle Event this Saturday from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM at La Center High School.
Bring your unwanted electronics and our students, along with Waste Connections, will help ensure they are responsibly recycled. Items will be sent to Earth Friendly in Vancouver where hard drives will be data-wiped and sanitized. Electronics will then be refurbished and donated when possible, or safely dismantled so parts can be recycled.
🌎 Open to the public
💻 No cost to participate
Please see the attached flyer for a full list of accepted items and additional details.
