e-Waste Recycling
Dollar Self Storage Recycling Program Benefits Local Communities
As technology is advancing at a more rapid pace every year, we are left wondering what to do with our outdated computer systems, cell phones, appliances, and electronics. In 2003, California lawmakers enacted the Electronic Waste Recycling Act (SB20), making it unlawful to discard televisions, computer monitors, and laptops. With the increased awareness of environmental concerns, the question remains as to what to do about e-waste disposal and related landfill overcrowding concerns not to mention the cost of proper disposal.
An answer to this came from the brainstorming of the staff at Dollar Self Storage in Corona, California in the form of a recycling program.
Beginning March 2007, the Dollar Self Storage center at 1065 E. Third Street is the first of our centers to be a certified drop off center for e-waste and donations. The list of accepted items are taken at NO COST to the public. A 360 square foot storage unit has been donated by Dollar Self Storage for the collection of e-waste. As part of its commitment to the community, all proceeds are donated to local charitable organizations such as the Corona Public Library Foundation.
Due to its outstanding success, similar programs are being established at Dollar Self Storage locations in Arizona (Tucson and Phoenix areas) and Nevada (Henderson/Las Vegas area).
List of Accepted Items:
- Computer Monitors
- CPUs
- Televisions
- Laptops
- Various Cables
- Telephone Systems
- Telephones and Cell Phones
- Audio Equipment (stereos, radios, and speakers)
- VCRs and DVD players
- Calculators
- Copiers, Printers, and Scanners
- Fax Machines
- Keyboards and Mice
- Microwaves
