If you’ve been wanting to get rid of an old computer, TV or other electronic device, Newport Beach is hosting an e-waste event on Saturday.
The first 50 cars will receive a City of Newport Beach reusable bag “big enough to fit a turkey.” The event benefits Goodwill of Orange County.
Reminder, it’s illegal to toss an old monitor or computer into any trash can (but you knew that right?). All of this electronic waste must be discarded at a hazardous waste center or an e-waste event.

When: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m Saturday, November 22, 2008.
Where: City Corporation Yard, 592 Superior Ave., Newport Beach
Items accepted: Comptuers and accessories, scanners and printers, fax machines, TVs, cell phones, telephones, cameras, PDAs, radios, VCRs, DVD players and microwaves.
