Shredfest: Shredding & E-Waste Recycling

Spring has arrived and so has the time to shred!

Our next document shredding and electronic waste recycling event will take place on April 27th in Bay Ridge. Please remember to sort your paperwork in advance. Staples are okay, but plastic folders, binder clips, spiral notebooks, rubber bands, etc, must all be removed before you arrive. As for e-waste, the Lower East Side Ecology Center does not accept batteries, but they take almost everything else! Check their list here.
