Lakeside Elementary Hosts Electronics Recycling Fund Raiser.

Electronic Recyclers:

WHAT:    Lakeside Elementary in Los Gatos will serve as a collector of
         electronic waste on Saturday, January 27th from 9:00 a.m. -
         4:00 p.m. Teaming with Fresno-based Electronic Recyclers, the
         elementary school will provide students, their families and
         the community at large an opportunity to safely unload their
         old computers, VCRs, printers, fax machines, television sets
         and other out-dated, unusable or unwanted electronic items
         for proper recycling.

         The free event is designed to provide residents with the
         opportunity to finally get rid of those old unwanted items,
         long since replaced and gathering dust in garages or storage
         units. The recycling event will also provide much-needed
         funds for the school.

         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.

         In an attempt to help local community and the environment,
         Lakeside Elementary has partnered with Fresno-based
         Electronic Recyclers, the largest recycler of electronic
         waste in California. The electronics collected will be
         trucked away and recycled by Electronic Recyclers at its
         state of the art facility.

         "We are very proud to be involved in this event and to be
         able to help Lakeside Elementary," said John S. Shegerian,
         President 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 any more 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.
