E-waste Disposal
Tuesday, April 12th, noon to 5:30 p.m.
Some of the electronics in your home have hazardous materials in them, such as lead, mercury,
arsenic, and cadmium. These electronics--which are called e-waste--can't be put curbside with your regular trash or your recycling; the Sanitation Department won't pick them up.
You can dispose of electronics that you don't want anymore on Tuesday, April 12th, from noon to 5:30 p.m., at the Community Board 12 office.
In New York City, e-waste includes these items:
Computers and Computer Accessories
- Desktop towers, monitors, laptops, and tablets (ex: iPads)
- Keyboards, mice, and pointing devices
- Printers and document scanners
- Cables, cords, and wiring permanently fixed to a device
- Small-scale servers
TV and Video Equipment
- TVs, VCRs, DVD players, and DVRs (digital video recorders)
