Our school will be running an electronics recycling drive between ____January 4th
___ and ___February 10th____. Recycling electronics not only reduces landfill
space, but also reduces the number of toxic mineral mines that have to be built in
order to extract the copper, nickel, silver, etc. that make up the core of all items
that run on electricity. Recycling electronics also keeps substances like mercury
and lead, hazardous elements found in traces of most electronic devices, from
entering our air and waterways. It is also illegal in PA to throw out most types of
electronics. Please drop off or ask your child to drop off your broken or unwanted
electronics in the drop off box located in the main office. Make sure that all
sensitive or personal info is cleared before recycling.
