Fremont residents can drop off e-waste from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Allied Waste Services, 42600 Boyce Road (at the east end of Auto Mall Parkway, turn right onto Boyce). Allied will take computer systems (PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, hard drive, etc.), televisions, telephones, DVD/VCR players, stereos, microwaves, answering machines, and cell phones. California prohibits these items in solid waste landfills. There is a $10 charge for more than eight items (computer systems count as one).
