Turn Garbage into Grad Nite Cash for RB High

It's always the right season for a little "spring" cleaning, especially when some of your old stuff can be put to good use!

The PTSA is holding a shred-a-thon and e-waste recycling event on Saturday to raise money for Senior Grad Nite.

The event is free, but donations will be accepted to go toward Grad Nite. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday in the lower parking lot of Casa de las Campanas retirement community in RB, 18655 West Bernardo Dr., people can drop off a number of electronics or have documents shredded.

Here's what you can drop off for free recycling:

• Monitors
• CRT screens
• Plasma screens
• LCD/LED screens
• Laptops
• Printers
• Copiers
• Fax machines
• Scanners
• Computers
• Cell phones
• VCRs
• DVD players
• Speakers
• Network servers

Old computer hard drives also will be "removed, punched and destructed while you watch." You can also watch your old papers, even confidential ones, get shredded and be given a certificate of destruction.

While the event is free, organizers do have recommended donations to help with Grad Nite:

• Document shredding: $5 per box/bag or $20 for five boxes/bags.
• Removal of hard drives: $20 per hard drive.
• Hard drive destruction: $10 per hard drive.

Casa de las Campanas is across the street from RB Community Park. For more information, see the flier attached to this story.
