WITS workers help Paul and Katie Kurtz unload their electronics at SDCC’s 1st annual Electronics Recycling Fair.Despite the drizzle, approximately 100 residents delivered a dozen pallet-loads of old electronics – enough to fill a 20 foot truck. WITS reconditions 70% of the products they collect and put them back in service; and they use zero landfill methods to recycle the remainder. Start saving your household batteries, printer cartridges, and electronics for next year’s event.
