Educating students about the importance of electronics recycling is one of CEAR's main focuses. We regularly conduct Electronic Waste drives where the primary platform is to raise funds for schools, non-profits and churches. At the same time we are educating the participants about what to do when they have old electronics to discard. In continuing our dedication to educating the younger population, we are hosting a field trip in October for a local Rancho Cordova middle school. The students will tour our facility and view first hand how the electronics are dismantled and recycled when they reach CEAR.

The September 8th E-Waste Collection event that CEAR hosted for Del Oro High School was to help them raise funds for their fine arts department. The e-waste drive was such a huge success, the Sacramento Bee sent a reporter to cover the event. Our hard working event team and the volunteers from Del Oro High School set a very high standard for future events. Click here to read the Bee article.

If you are interested in setting up an event for your school, church or non-profit organization, please contact Kristin DiLallo Sherrill at kdilallo@cearinc.com for more information.
