“RecycleMore is very excited to partner with the City of El Cerrito and Sustainable Contra Costa to offer a no cost, fun event for residents in West Contra Costa County. Today’s society has become accustomed to a “throw-it-away” lifestyle. However, many items can easily be fixed instead of buying new. Why not learn to repair and have a fun time?” says Reka Abraham, Recycling & Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Program Manager  https://recyclemore.com/about/agency-staff/ of RecycleMore.
