Ann Arbor residents doing spring cleaning this weekend took advantage of several planned collections of prescription drugs and old electronics in the Ann Arbor area Saturday.
Pioneer High School, at 601 W. Stadium Blvd., in Ann Arbor, hosted one of the stations for people to drop materials off at on Saturday.
The e-waste event is free to the public and there is no limit to the amount of old or outdated electronics people can bring.
AnnArbor.com staff photographer Courtney Sacco was there to capture images.

Great coverage. It's too bad your organization was unable to provide 1/10 of the coverage for the WESO (Washtenaw Elementary Science Olympiad) event held in the same location two weekends prior. With over 2000 students and hundreds of parent volunteers, it's the largest event of it's kind in the country. Certainly not as important as a recycling event. Sad choices.

Fantastic event! In and out in less than 10 minutes at around 11:30. Very well staffed and organized. Thank you to U of M, AAPS and all of the wonderful volunteers! Well done!
