Salvation Army to host e-waste event, donation drive

Get rid of your electronic waste items the correct way without damaging the environment.  Electronic items need to be properly disposed in a safe manner.  But many people don't know how and simply throw away things such as computers and television sets in the garbage can.

The Salvation Army is here to help.  It is having an E-waste disposal/Donation Drive on Saturday, April 3 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Olive Drive Church located at 5500 Olive Drive in Bakersfield.

E-wast items include all electrical/electronic items including but not limited to computers, monitors, televisions, phones, fax machines, etc.

Donations will also be accepted for items such as but not limited to furniture, clothing, appliances, and household items.
