Event Details
The Meatpacking Business Improvement District (BID) will partner with Lower East Side Ecology Center to host the annual E-Waste Recycling event on May 11, 2018. The outdoor drop off will be setup at southwest corner of West 14th St and 8th Ave and accept devices that have an electronic component from 10am-4pm. As in years past, the all-day effort offers a simple solution for electronic junk disposal.
Now’s the perfect time for a deep spring cleaning binge and get rid of all unwanted electronics. Grab your old phones, batteries, computer cables, fax machines etc. and join in on the recycling party to do right by the City we all love!
Why you ask? It’s actually illegal to throw electronics in the trash according to New York State Law. Yes, we love our gadgets, but disposing of them correctly is crucial for a sustainable local environment. As a bonus, the LES Ecology Center does unique things with your old stuff, too: like running a used electronics store and a prop library for TV, film, and theater productions. Your old PC could very well end up in a movie or TV show down the road! Last year’s collection of e-waste amounted to 7,000 pounds.
Check out the below acceptable items for e-waste recycling:
• Computers (any and all parts of them)
• Printers/scanners
• Phones
• TVs
• Phones
• Fax machines
• Keyboards
• Computer mouse(s)
• Cables
• VCRs/DVD players
• Audio/visual equipment

• If it has an electronic component, BRING IT!
No kitchen appliances or vacuum cleaners.
Special thanks to the Lower East Side Ecology Center and to City Council Member Corey Johnson for his support of this event.
