Youth volunteers from the American Red Cross of Santa Monica will be collecting old electronics — stereos, television sets, telephones, computers and more — at the Wild Oats Natural Marketplace, 1425 Montana Ave. at 15th Street in Santa Monica, Saturday, Sept. 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Consumer electronic recyclables will be collected in association with California Recycles, a private electronic waste management company. There is no charge to the public; however, a portion of the proceeds obtained from the electronic recycling will benefit Santa Monica Red Cross youth programs.

Recent changes in state law prohibit the disposal of old and used electronics, including batteries, in the trash. Consumer electronic items including electronic office equipment must be disposed of properly including recycling.

Items that can be recycled include CRT monitors and television sets, regular and cellular telephones, phone answering machines, cell phones and accessories.

Stereo equipment including loudspeakers, tape and cassette players and recorders, DVD and VCR players, computers and computer peripherals, scanners and fax machines, batteries, printer cartridges, audio and video tapes and floppy discs are all recyclable.

The American Red Cross of Santa Monica is a publicly supported, 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that provides health and safety education, youth services, CPR and first aid training, disaster awareness and disaster relief efforts. For additional information or to inquire about other programs or assistance, call (310) 394-3773 or go online at www.redcrossofsantamonica.org. Local residents will lobby in support of cancer research
