Have you been meaning to get rid of that outdated media device and don’t know what to do with it? Do you have a computer that doesn’t seem to work anymore, but not sure if it’s salvageable?
Bring your E-Waste to Greater Ossining’s Earth Day Festival on April 19th and we’ll tell you whether it can fixed—and if not, we’ll show you how it can be re-purposed, re-used & recycled, and even provide a tax-deductible receipt!
Here’s what’s OK to bring down:
- Any/all Computers (including peripheral devices)
- monitors
- printers
- scanners
- laptops
- keyboards
- copiers/multi-function printers
- cell phones
- DVD players
- Vacuums
- Power tools
- any small electronic household items
- Although they are not technically e-waste, the barge has a special affection for bicycles & scooters, so bring those too!
Please do NOT bring:
- Microwaves
- TVs
- anything with gas oil
- transmission fluid or lubricants (must be emptied of all before recycling)
