In partnership with the Ojai Valley Directory, Ojai Community Bank, and Gold Coast Recycling & Transfer, the Ojai Valley Green Coalition will once again hold an e-waste recycling event on Saturday, January 9, 2010, in the Ojai Community Bank’s parking lot, at 402 W. Ojai Avenue, from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M or until the truck fills up, rain or shine. Event flyer is HERE.
The event is open to all Ojai Valley residents and businesses, and will be the second of its kind to be held in Ojai. According to Deborah Pendrey, Executive Director of the Ojai Valley Green Coalition, last year’s e-waste recycling day was tremendously successful, and the January event is expected to bring an equally good community response.
Harrison Industries will be accepting for recycling most types of electronics, including computers, monitors, and all computer accessories as well as TVs, radios, stereos, and small appliances such as toasters and microwave ovens.
Along with the universal waste recycling, the Green Coalition will be extending the opportunity to recycle incandescent holiday lights, which it began collecting in November, and will also be accepting for recycling such additional items as household batteries (to a limit of five pounds per household), ink and toner cartridges, CDs and DVDs, iPods, cell phones, and incandescent holiday lights. The coalition collects these latter items year round at its monthly community events.
Those who receive new electronics or small appliances as holiday gifts should know that it’s illegal to dispose of their old items in the trash, or even in regular recycle bins. These universal wastes, as they’re called, contain toxic heavy metals that can leach into the ground and groundwater, so they cannot go to landfills.
For more information call the Ojai Valley Green Coalition at 805-669-8445.

Clean website. Do you sometimes trade guest posts? I am maintaining a page on my latest obsession akita dogs and looking to trade some content with good pages. I looked around your site and you've got some good articles and I was thinking our readers would both benefit. Thanks!

Intriguing posts. I bookmarked your site. I'm looking for other blogs that have visitors that would find value from a new page of mine on akita dogs. Let me know if you want to trade some posts or content. I think we would both get value.

I saw something similar on another website recently but didn't really understand it. After reading your post I kind of see what they meant.
