The FVTC Automation and Electronics Club recently hosted a highly attended Electronics Recycling Drive. The event, held last April, attracted many participants, with vehicles lining up early. The drive collected 38,000 pounds of electronic waste.

Throughout the day, the club filled 80 commercial bins with electronic items, including computer accessories like mice and keyboards, household electronics such as TVs and DVDs, and small kitchen appliances. The goal was to divert these items from landfills.

The recycling drive is an annual event organized by the student club, in partnership with the FVTC Foundation, Inc. and ITAD Logic. ITAD Logic ensures the proper sorting and environmentally responsible disposal of the collected items.
