California State University, Fresno’s electronic waste (e-waste) recycling program announces three dates when the community can drop e-waste at the campus: Oct. 28, Dec. 16 and Jan. 20.
 
The collection on each date will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the university’s Parking Lot S, just south of Bulldog Stadium on Bulldog Lane (west of Cedar Avenue).
 
Central California residents may bring their old TVs, PC components, cell phones and other unwanted electronic products. It is against state law to dispose of those materials in regular trash bins.
 
TVs and computer monitors will be accepted without charge, while all other electronic waste will be subject to a fee of 25 cents per pound. Cash or checks with proper identification will be accepted. Drop-offs may not be left in the lot unless an attendant is present. E-waste loads greater than 500 pounds require prior notification and approval.
 
Fresno State’s e-waste collection program for Central California residents is in conjunction with Electronic Recyclers of America.
