America throws out enough eWaste each year to cover Central Park more than 300 times
The Great Month-Long After-the-Holidays eWaste Recycling Events
Tech is always a top gift during the holidays, which means there are tons of old gadgets to be disposed of every January.
Tekserve NYC's beloved Apple Specialists in partnership with the Lower East Side Ecology Center, is making sure eWaste is handled responsibly by making recycling more convenient than ever, hosting events in every borough.
All recyclers at these events will receive a Green Karma Coupon — good for a mystery discount of anywhere between $5 and $500 off any one purchase made at Tekserve by the end of February* — as well as a chance to win a MacBook Air.
So bring your unwanted computers, monitors, printers, scanners, fax machines, network devices, peripherals, hard drives, CD-ROM drives, TVs, VCRs, DVD players, DVR/cable/satellite receivers, portable music players, cell phones, radios, video games, and more to one of these eWaste Recycling Events:
