E-waste Collection
Sunday, September 29th
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Do you have electronics, either working or non-working, that you don't want to hang onto anymore?
Because they contain toxic chemicals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, it's
dangerous to discard them with your trash or
your recycling. It's also illegal in New York State; disposing of them that way can get you a $100 fine.
But you can dispose of them at Kensington Plaza on Sunday, September 29th, between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., rain or shine.
