Free Residential E-Waste Events in Association with The Lower East Side Ecology Center
We are excited to partner with The Lower East Side Ecology Center for a series of free residential e waste drop off events across New York City.
These events provide NYC residents with a safe, convenient, and environmentally responsible way to recycle unwanted electronics. From old laptops and phones to cables and small devices, properly disposing of e waste helps keep harmful materials out of landfills while supporting a more sustainable future for our communities.
At 4THBIN, we believe responsible recycling and data security go hand in hand. By participating in these events, residents are helping reduce environmental impact and support certified recycling efforts that prioritize both sustainability and safety.
Join us in making a positive impact and helping create a cleaner, greener New York City. We look forward to seeing you there!
All events run from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM unless otherwise noted.
