Thank You for Supporting KASPA E-Waste Recycling Days!

Thank you to everyone who participated in KASPA’s January 8-9 E-Waste Recycling Days in Milpitas, CA. With the support of our volunteers, partners, and donors, we collected unused electronics that will be responsibly recycled through certified partners.

This community effort directly supports KASPA’s mission to build a stronger semiconductor ecosystem through community engagement, collaboration, and shared insight, while advancing workforce development, STEM education, and sustainability.

Special thanks to our volunteers, SV Tech Source for hosting, and everyone who contributed.
