At Green in BKLYN, we collect & recycle clean #5 plastics & batteries (5 cents/battery for shipping).

In addition, our blogs include lots of recycling info (just type “recycle” or “recycling” in our Search area for all kinds of info).

And we share info on e-waste recycling events, whenever possible…

This month, in celebration of Earth Day (4/22) there’s a veritable smorgasbord of e-waste recycling options.  Courtesy of the Lower East Side Ecology Center, we offer “The List”.  Reduce, reuse, recycle y’all!

The Ecology Center is holding seven electronic waste (“e-waste”) collections to responsibly recycle unwanted or broken electronics from New York City residents (no business waste).  All you have to do is bring your e-waste to the collection event – rain or shine!

For a list of acceptable materials, click here.  Just remember, no home appliances such as microwaves or refrigerators.
