Not an e-waste of time! Unload your old electronics Sunday on Avenue A

Now is the time to start gathering up those old monitors, laptops, VCRs, Blackberrys, pagers, beepers, camcorders, Betamax video players... you get the idea! 

There's an e-waste recycling event at Tompkins Square Park this Sunday (Nov. 5!) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Avenue A between Ninth Street and 10th Street. 

This event is in partnership with our local elected officials and the LES Ecology Center.
