Clint - it is a "fund raiser". Hence, you bring your electronics there and they will take care of disposing of them. What you call a fee is a "donation" to the fundraiser. Figure it out, its not rocket science.

I agree with Clint, the fee should have been noted in the fliers. Most electronics recycling makes money on the stuff donated, so one would think the "fundraising" is coming from just that.

FYI, St. Vincent de Paul near downtown Livermore takes electronics donations (working or not). I think they are open for donations Tues through Sat.

me again. To anon:

This appears to be a fund raiser for the electronics recycle outfit, NOT THE SCHOOL.

What was the fee? It's worth some payment to get rid of my old electronic junk.

There used to be a problem getting rid of obsolete electronic items, but not any longer. It doesn't take very long to find places that will gladly accept the items without charge.

I use a "recycle facility" behind the casino on First Street in Livermore -- They provide a spot to leave the items even when they're closed.
