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.

WHAT’S  IN  YOUR  CLOSET?!

Recyclers are eligible to enter a raffle to win a new MacBook Air. Winners are announced after the end of each seasonal eWaste event. Recyclers also receive a Tekserve coupon for participating in the eWaste events.
