 If you need an incentive to responsibly get rid of your old PC, TV or other eWaste, here’s your chance this Saturday.

The  recycling event will reward each person who donates an electronic waste item with one 15 percent discount coupon from outdoor specialty store REI. While REI shoppers (I assume) are friendly to the earth anyway, the discount is a nice touch from a store that rarely offers coupons.

The event is free and open to all. Bring old monitors, computers, cell phones, etc.   Ease-e-waste in Santa Ana is handling the recycling end of the event. Funds generated from the event will benefit The Grain Project, a Santa Ana nonprofit that supports sustainable communities, farmers’ markets, community gardens and public art.
