We get a lot of calls here at Green in BKLYN asking for information about recycling, in general, and electronic waste recycling specifically.  So we’re pleased to be able to let folks know about another eWaste drive…

Tekserve and the Lower East Side Ecology Center have teamed up again to offer free electronics recycling throughout September and October. 

Recyclable items include computers, monitors, fax machines, copiers, DVD or VCR players, radios, telephones, cell phones, televisions, cameras and stereo equipment.  However, they cannot accept home appliances such as microwaves, stoves, refrigerators and air conditioners.
