Free Residential E-Waste Events in Association with The Lower East Side Ecology Center
We are excited to announce we have teamed up with the The Lower East Side Ecology Center for a series of free residential e-waste drop off events! These events serve as a convenient and responsible way for members of our community to dispose of their electronic waste. By taking part, NYC residents can help minimize environmental impact and support recycling efforts, ensuring that hazardous materials are managed safely. Join 4THBIN in making a positive difference for our community and the planet!
We look forward to seeing you there and working together to create a cleaner, greener New York City!
