CSET Holds Free Electronics Recycling Event.

Electronic Recyclers:

WHAT: Community Service and Employment Training, Inc. (CSET) will hold
      an electronics recycling fundraiser at the Lindsay Fire Station
      on Saturday, March 10th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  Partnering
      with Fresno-based Electronic Recyclers, CSET will provide
      residents with a free opportunity to safely unload their old
      computers, television sets, VCRs, printers, stereos and other
      outdated, unusable or unwanted electronic items for proper
      recycling.

      It is illegal to simply throw an unwanted television or computer
      monitor in the trash in the state of California.  Electronic
      items contain toxic elements like lead and mercury that are
      environmentally hazardous when they are dumped into landfills.
      By law, such products must now be recycled properly and in ways
      that won't harm the environment.

      Funds generated by the recycling drive will help CSET continue
      strengthening youth, families, and communities through
      education, employment training, youth development, mentoring,
      leadership building, job creation, environmental stewardship and
      other strategies that support self-reliant families and caring
      communities.

      The electronics collected will be trucked away and recycled by
      Fresno-based Electronic Recyclers, the largest recycler of
      electronic waste in California, at their state-of-the-art
      facility.

      "We are very proud to be involved in this event and to be able
      to help CSET continue its important work," said John S.
      Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers.
      "Electronic waste is a growing problem that affects the
      environment and human health.  Events like these provide the
      community with a great, easy way to safely recycle their old
      electronics as well as raise much needed funds."

      Each year, Californians replace hundreds of thousands of TVs,
      computers, monitors and other electronic devices.  Plus, they
      store literally millions more that are not used anymore in
      homes, garages and businesses.  Electronic products contain
      valuable resources such as metal, plastic and glass, which can
      and should be recycled instead of thrown away.
