NO: Household appliances, for example: refrigerators, washers and driers.
 
North Star is working with Zak Enterprises of Silicon Valley for this event.  In turn, Zak Enterprises works with the trained staff of Hope Services to sort the materials according to their individual properties. 

Working with Hope Services allows Zak to provide employment and training for people with developmental disabilities.  We continue this community emphasis by using this fundraising event to ensure that all 6th-graders at North Star have the opportunity to attend the annual Yosemite trip.  

Thank you, and we'll see you this Saturday with all your recyclable e-waste!
