Get Your School's Obsolete Electronics Recycled This Weekend!

Take part in America Recycles Day (have you taken the pledge?) by taking your school's obsolete electronics to one of the recycling stations citywide this Saturday and Sunday, November 15-16, from 8 AM to 2 PM.

Drop off unwanted computers, TVs, cell phones, radios, cameras, VCRs, and other electronics for free at any of the locations listed below. The Department of Education requires electronics to be recycled through a designated a vendor at a charge of $30 per item. Many electronics needlessly end up in dumpsters because schools feel this charge is too costly when supplies, such as copy paper, are scarce.

Join greeNYC, DSNY, CENYC, NBC Universal and Green Is Universal in taking this small, yet important step toward reducing the enormous amount of toxic e-waste sent to landfills (and let's hope they're not on their way to China).

Designated e-recycling stations are located in all five boroughs:

Manhattan
Saturday only: Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building Plaza (W. 126th St. bet. Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. and Malcolm X Blvd.)
Sunday only: Cooper Square (Cooper Square bet. E. 6th and 7th Sts.)
