Community Recycling Events

We hold Community Recycling Events in every Community Board district in NYC. These pop-up events are a free and convenient way for NYC residents to get rid of items that are not collected curbside.

All Community Recycling Events collect e-waste and textiles. Some offer additional services like paint collection and repair programs (check event links for more information).
