Reno's annual Community e-Waste Collection Event for 2011 will be on Saturday, April 23. Round up your old electronics gizmos and bring them to the site of the old Park Lane Mall (corner Plumb Lane and S. Virginia Street), between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., for proper disposal and recycling.
This is your chance to get rid of those old consumer electronics in an environmentally responsible manner. The event will be held where the Park Lane Mall used to be, on the corner of Plumb Lane and Virginia Street. The disposal service is provided for a donation of $10 in advance or $15 the day of the event. Items that will be accepted include TVs, computers, laptops, monitors, keyboards, cords/cables, power supplies, printers, DVD players, and cell phones. Big metal stuff will also be accepted this year, like washers, dryers, metal shelving, and car parts.Advance vouchers can be bought at New2U Computers on Glendale Ave. in Sparks and Whole Foods Market on S. Virginia Street in Reno. The fee goes to cover recycling and data destruction costs. This event is intended for private residents - if you are a business, please don't bring a huge amount of stuff expecting a cheapie dumping service. If you would like to volunteer or need more information, contact New2U at (775) 329-1126.
