On Saturday, April 21 (the day before Earth Day), Wilshire Crest Elementary School (5241 W. Olympic Blvd./ NE corner of Olympic & Sycamore) will hold an e-waste collection from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in its east parking lot (enter from Olympic Blvd.) Â This is a great way to clean out your closets, houses, garages and offices (yes, businesses can donate, too!), help the environment and make money for a very deserving neighborhood school all at the same time.
The school will get paid by the pound, so the more they collect, the more money they make. Â Here are the items they can and cannot accept – please start saving them now!
