The Ecology Center will accept electronic waste ("e-waste") from New York City residents and small businesses (under 50 employees). Bring your working or non-working electronics to the collection events to have them recycled responsibly. A list of acceptable materials can be found here. We do not accept home appliances such as microwaves, refrigerators or air conditioners.

If the promise of a clutter-free home isn't enough, we have two additional incentives to motivate you:

If you're a Zipcar member come out to an e-waste event, flash your Zipcard and you'll get a $15 driving credit while supplies last. Not a member yet?

Tekserve is offering everyone who drops off their e-waste this January a free limited edition t-shirt and the chance to win a new Apple MacBook Air.

We would like to thank Tekserve for sponsoring these events.
