For many people, last weekend marked the climax of environmentally-focused efforts and initiatives. In the wake of Earth Day, we’re hearing inspiring stories about this year’s green activities, including educational events at schools across the world, college students rallying for a sustainable future, organized tree-plantings and trash clean ups, and much more. But nothing is more inspiring than organizations dedicated to environmental stewardship year-round.

Hope Services, an organization that provides comprehensive services to more than 2,500 individuals with developmental disabilities, also collects e-waste from communities across California during the entire year. The proceeds generated from e-waste collection help fund the non-profit’s efforts while providing a much needed service – responsible electronics recycling. Hope Services is hosting several e-waste recycling events over the next few weeks, including an event in Monterey on April 28, events in Capitola and Santa Clara on May 5, and an event in Sunnyvale on May 12. For more info and a complete list of Hope Services’ e-waste events click here.

So now that Earth Day has passed, don’t lose your motivation to be green! Recycle your unwanted, obsolete electronics responsibly at one of these events or go to http://myecollective.com/ to find a year-round drop off location near you!
