Electronics Recycling Events 

Electronic waste, or e-waste, includes items such as computers, televisions, electrical cords, game consoles, and more. It is illegal in New York State to put these items into the garbage because special care is required to recycle them. The City offers an electronics recycling event once per year, typically in the Fall. Registration is required.
