Electronic Recycling Day Announced
The Electronic Recycling Day held in November by the
Amador County Fair was so successful, that another will be held Saturday,
February 24. Several tons of
no longer usable electronic waste was collected for recycling rather than going
into the County landfill. If you have a storeroom or garage cluttered with
out-of-date or broken office and entertainment equipment, here’s your chance to
get rid of it safely and for free. The Amador County Fair will hold it’s next electronics recycling day on
Saturday, February 24 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This is an opportunity to save on landfill
disposal fees, help the environment, and also save a buck. There will be no charge for dropping off your
old electronic equipment.
Residents and businesses are encouraged to brings
items such as computer monitors, towers, CRT screens, LCD screens, calculators,
plasma screens, stereo systems, televisions, computer towers, printers,
copiers, microwaves and more. They will not accept
light bulbs, batteries or large appliances.
Please use the Empire
Street entrance off of Highway 49.
Staff will be available to unload items for you, rain or shine. For more information call the Fair office at 245-6921 or
