|  October Recycle your used electronic equipment this fall. Here’s how:
The New York City Department of Sanitation is sponsoring these electronics recycling events through the assistance of the Lower East Side Ecology Center and support of Best Buy and Intel.
For more information, please contact:
All makes and models are accepted and drop off is free. Events are open to NYC residents only. Each resident can bring up to five pieces of equipment. All equipment will be recycled. Cell phones will be donated to Collective Good. The events will be held rain or shine. Computers, monitors, televisions and cell phones contain hazardous materials, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. Recycling your unwanted electronic items keeps these hazardous materials out of the waste stream and the environment.
Special thanks to our partnering organizations: Council on the Environment of NYC's Greenmarket Program; General Growth Properties, Inc.; NYC Department of Parks & Recreation; Prestige Properties and Development Company. Other alternatives to disposal If you cannot attend any of the fall events, consider some of the following options: Recycle your unwanted computer, monitor, and printer through a manufacturer-sponsored, take-back program. For more information, contact these companies.
Most charge a processing fee, and some restrict the brands that they will accept. Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard can provide a home pick-up service. Donate your unwanted but working equipment to a charitable organization. Materials for the Arts, Non-Profit Computing, and the National Cristina Foundation are just a few examples of organizations that accept donations. For a more comprehensive list of organizations and contact information, see donations. List unwanted but working equipment on a free, online materials-exchange service, such as Craigslist or Freecycle. Recycle unwanted cell phones and accessories by dropping them off at retail locations sponsoring a take-back program. Local retailers participating in cell phone recycling programs include:
