A free electronic waste recycling event is coming to Rosemary’s Playground,
located along Fairview Avenue between Woodbine and
Madison streets in Ridgewood, on Saturday, March 20.
The event will be hosted by state Senator Joseph Addabbo Jr. in partnership
with Councilman Robert Holden, the Lower East Side Ecology Center and
Friends of Rosemary’s Playground.
On March 20, representatives from the Lower East Side Ecology Center
will be at Rosemary’s Playground from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. collecting community
members’ e-waste in order to properly recycle the devices.
Acceptable electronic include all working and non-working computers,
monitors, printers/scanners, keyboards, mice, cables, TVs, VCRs and DVD
players, phones, audio and visual equipment, cellphones and personal digital
assistants (or PDAs).
“These recycling events are some of the most popular events that we host
because it gives the people within our districts a central location right in
their own community to properly dispose of their unwanted or broken
electronics without facing a fine for putting them with their normal garbage,”
Addabbo said. “I would like to thank Bob Holden for joining me, the
staff at the Lower East Side Ecology Center and the Friends of Rosemary’s
Playground for helping to make this event possible. I encourage everyone
to come out to Rosemary’s Playground to recycle their electronic waste.”
For more information about the event, individuals may call Senator Addabbo’s
office at 718-738-1111.
