We had 367 cars come to the Electronics Collection Event today.  We collected 804 old TVs, 174 old computer monitors, at least one eight-track player (!!), and other assorted electronics.

We want to thank DACC for hosting the event !   We plan to hold another electronics collection event there in October.

(Just for comparison, last October we had 627 vehicles bring us 1,421 TVs and 320 monitors.)
