Join us for a day of events promoting the care of the things we own.

Hold on to those electronics and textiles! We will have an e-waste and textile collection event in partnership with the Department of Sanitation, powered by Lower East Side Ecology Center.  Let's recycle the things we own responsibly!

E-waste collected at these events include: household and office electronics (computers, laptops, keyboards, printers), smaller entertainment electronics (video game consoles, cell phones, MP3 players), and TVs, VCRs, DVDs, DVRs. 

*Unacceptable items: commercial e-waste, household appliances, air conditioners, batteries, lightbulbs.

Textiles collected at these events include: clothing, shoes, accessories, linens, and all fabric items that are clean, dry, and unsoiled. Textile dropoffs must be in bags!

The event will take place outside of the library on Norman Ave.

 

Coincing the collection event we will have a Repair Cafe with our community partners Clean Bushwick Initiative where community members may bring items for repair and learn repair skills from their neighbors. This event aims to promote a "repair not replace" mindset, reduce waste, and empower patrons to fix the things they own themselves. More details to come...
