Good news for your inner-do-gooder. Here's a great chance to clear out space AND recycle. It's yours for the taking on October 25th.
If you are like me, you eye those piles of batteries at the bottom of your glass and plastic recycling bin, fretting about how to quit them. Then you open a drawer that has become a sort of e-gadget graveyard: dead iPods, cellphones, dare I mention cassette recorders? Then onto the big stuff: VCR? Betamax?! Tube tellies. Your beloved 8-track tape player? Ok, so that's a collectors' item. But still. We're drowning in this culture of techno-replacement. And we all need a good way to get rid of it and to maintain a clear conscience.
So here's your hyper-local chance! The W. 102nd & 103rd Streets Block Association will recycle your e-waste on Saturday, October 25. Please drop off unwanted electronics at 250 W. 103rd Street anytime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The Block Association's volunteers will deliver the e-waste to an authorized recycler. A snap!
Just let us know what you’re bringing so we are certain to have adequate room to transport the recyclables. You may email us at: ewaste@w102-103blockassn.org.
The following items are accepted: computers, monitors, printers, scanners, fax machines, copiers, routers, modems, keyboards, mice, cables, components, TVs, VCRs, DVD players, cell phones, pagers, PDAs, phones, answering machines, and batteries of any kind.
Just one thing: no air conditioners or kitchen appliances, please. And try selling that 8-track on Craigslist. You'll get a pretty penny, I promise.
