Lisa Thompson, environmental compliance manager for the county’s Department of Waste Resources, told LAist they’re hoping this will educate people about where their garbage really goes once it leaves the curb, all while saving precious space at the landfill for future generations.“We want to continue to provide low-cost services to residents so that they can do the right thing,” she said.
Looking for a VHS or DVD player? Electronics start at $6, but Laffoon noted some unique or rare items would go for a little more.All of the proceeds are directed back into the store and other programs Riverside County subsidizes, such as electronic waste and tire disposal. Bicycles, regardless of their size or shape, would cost you $6 at the Lamb Canyon Landfill's Found It Again Reuse Store.Laffoon and the other landfill staff consistently check what people are dropping off to make sure it’s not hazardous, and to see if any of the items are still in quality condition.
The electronics may also have mercury in them, which is exactly the kind of chemical they don’t want to have lying around. But every stereo, gaming console, and circuited car part that leaves the store is a little less hazardous waste Riverside County needs to manage. Jeffrey Goslowski was eyeing a camera tripod and a multi-track mixer, but he said the trouble with some of the items, the electronics especially, is they’re not always functional. Everything is sold as-is, but the store does have plugs available if you want to try it out before you buy.
