Join the Lower East Side Ecology Center for free eWaste Recycling right in our neighborhood, and avoid a fine!
This Sunday September 20th, find the Ecology Center set up curbside along Avenue A between E9th and E10th Streets just outside Tompkins Square Park, accepting unwanted electronics for responsible recycling and re-use. We’ll be there from 10am to 4pm, rain or shine.
Did you know that the curbside disposal of electronics is now illegal, and a $100 fine is issued for noncompliance? The better option is to recycle with the Lower East Side Ecology Center for free to safeguard the environment and your personal data.
Can’t make it on Sunday 9/20/2015? No problem, we’ll be back with another event on the LES: Sunday October 25th on the northside of Delancey Street between Chrystie and Forsyth Streets.
