VEP Community Association e-Waste pick-up and
Community-Wide Garage Sale on May 3rd

- Dave Noel

VEP Community Association is teaming up with Gunderson High School and Earthcare Recycling to hold an e-waste pick-up on Saturday May 3rd from 9 am until 4 pm at Gunderson High School. This event runs at the same time as VEP’s Community-Wide Garage Sale.

This will be a win-win event. Here’s why:

You can get rid of your e-waste conveniently without harming the environment.
Gunderson High School will receive funds from the recycling value of your e-waste.
You can visit a wealth of garage sales on your way to and from dropping off your e-waste.
Garage salers can drop off their recyclable e-waste at Gunderson instead of putting it back their garage at the end of the day. (VEP is also trying to arrange to have a charity truck at Gunderson that afternoon to collect garage sale left-overs.)

Examples of e-Waste you can drop off on May 3rd from 9 am to 4 pm at Gunderson High School

~ Electronics ~
TVs, VCRs, audio equipment, speakers, cameras, phones, copiers, fax machines, wire, power tools, etc.

~ Small appliances ~
Microwave ovens, toasters, blow dryers, curling irons, electric shavers, vacuum cleaners, etc.

~ Computer items ~
Monitors, desktop & laptop computers, internal parts and peripherals, printers & cartridges, scanners, etc.

The garage sale area is the entire shaded area on the map, plus additional nearby streets. Gunderson High School (GHS) is located at 622 Gaundabert Lane (at Chynoweth Ave.)
