Electronic Waste Recycling Event in Poulsbo

You know that you can't just throw away your old computer monitors, towers, and components, right? Small amounts of dangerous materials go into each component. If we were to simply throw these in a landfill, those toxic elements could seep into our environment. You can learn more about e-waste at Wikipedia.

Olympic Printer Resources, Inc. is sponsoring an Electronic Waste Recycling Event on Saturday, April 26th from 10 am to 4 pm at Christ Memorial Church in Poulsbo.
