Here at Green in BKLYN, we receive bunches of emails, phone calls & drop ins from our customers asking about getting rid of unwanted electronics.  Our friends over at the The Lower East Side Ecology Center have scheduled their Annual “After the Holidays” E-waste Drives for January to help responsibly recycle  unwanted or broken gadgets.

They’ve been at this for years & last January they collected 100 tons of e-waste.  This year’s goal?  110 tons! Help them reach this goal by disposing of your electronics at one of their many dates & locations!
