SMUD partners with Cal Expo for Giving Monday E-Waste Drive-Through
SMUD is partnering with Cal Expo, iHeartRadio and KCRA to give back to the community with a community e-waste drive. Businesses and residents can bring their e-waste to the Cal Expo Main Gate and drop it off free of charge. Proceeds benefit the Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps, Sacramento’s largest education and workforce training program.
This e-waste drive is a follow-up to a previous e-waste drive held in November 2021, which collected more than 30,000 lbs. of recycled materials that were diverted away from landfills.
Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps works to enrich the lives of young adults by providing a development program, integrating education, job skills training and work experience on conservation projects and service opportunities that benefit the entire region.
Customers who Join the Charge to become a Clean Power Champion will be entered into a drawing to win 4 tickets to a Sacramento River Cats game.
