Residents and businesses will have the opportunity to safely dispose of electronic waste conveniently and free of charge at the city’s Electronic Waste Collection Event on Saturday, Nov. 13, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Parking Lot I of Brookside Park, south of the Rose Bowl, 1001 N. Rose Bowl Dr.
E-waste qualified for this special collection, provided by Pasadena Department of Public Works, includes computers, keyboards, printers, monitors, laptops, docking stations, scanners, shredders, fax machines, mice, telephones, televisions, flat screens, VCRs, DVD players, PDAs, cassette players, tape drives, stereos and household batteries.
Many of the products have parts that will be recycled.
By law, e-waste cannot be disposed of in landfills because its hazardous parts can cause environmental damage.
“Electronic waste contaminates our air and water, and is hazardous to human health. We are here to help people in the greater Pasadena area properly recycle e-waste,” said Gabriel Silva, environmental programs manager for Public Works.
