Electronics Recycling This Weekend in Windsor Terrace

You have another opportunity this weekend to get rid of your old electronic devices--computers, TVs, cell phones, etc--in an environmentally responsible way. There will be an e-waste drive Saturday (7/14) through Monday (7/16) in Windsor Terrace at the Holy Name Church at 241 Prospect Park West. It's sponsored by the Lower East Side Ecology Center and Council Member Bill de Blasio. Two previous events netted more than 32,000 pounds of unwanted electronics, which by our calculation is a lot of stuff. Electronic devices are an increasing part of the waste stream and responsible for a lot of pollution if not disposed of properly. There are moves afoot legislatively to require manufacturers to participate in recycling programs and to safely dispose of the products.

The Windsor Terrace effort will take place on Saturday, July 14th from 10am-4pm, on Sunday, July 15th from 10am-4pm, and on Monday, July 16th from
4pm-7pm. Take the F Train to the 15th Street/Prospect Park Station or walk over.
