SMUD Giving Monday at Cal Expo

For the third time, since the CA State Fair’s cancellation due to COVID-19, SMUD is partnering with Cal Expo to bring SMUD Giving Monday. This time, we will be hosting an E-Waste recycling event to benefit the Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps (SRCC). SRCC is Sacramento’s largest education workforce training program for young adults.

Guests can drive through Cal Expo’s Main Gate loop to drop off items on Monday, November 15, from noon to 6:00 pm.
