E-recycling at Monroe Elementary: During Earth Week (April 15-22) we will be helping sustainably recycle/dispose of electronic devices from our community, through a school drop-off program. This is our second year of the drive and the way it works is to drop off any electronics that you would like to get rid of/recycle to Sheila Iverson in the front office – 3615 W. Cassia Street. This is a great way to safely dispose of old electronics, and make sure those valuable metals and minerals get recovered.
