Sunday, January 18 From 10 AM To 4 PM
At Prospect Park –
Prospect Park West & 3rd Street
Presented by: Lower East Side Ecology Center in partnership with Tekserve.
NOTE: A new City Law took effect on New Year’s Day (2015) that makes it illegal to – among other things – toss an old TV set if/when one buys a new one. And obviously, since many Park Slopers have limited living space, “clutter” is something one wants to avoid. Remember, if you miss this event, it may be several months before you get another chance to get rid of this or that item – LEGALLY.
