E-Recycling Sunday @ Prospect Park

The time has come to recycle those old cell phones and broken computer gear gathering dust in the junk drawers, closets and dark corners of your home.  These products typically contain toxic elements such as heavy metals and should never be tossed out with your regular trash.  Get some fresh air and walk them over to Prospect Park this Sunday.  From my inbox:


This weekend is the electronic waste recycling event at 
Prospect Park. The Lower East Side Ecology Center will be visiting our 
district again to relieve us of our e-waste and make sure it gets reused or 
recycled.
