One of my favorite places, Tekserve, recently had a Electronics Recycling Event which I attended to give a proper goodbye to my old G4 Apple laptop. We had some good times and I’m sure others had some good times with the electronics they were eco consciously disposing of.

The Lower East Side Ecology Center partnered with Tekserve, the Mac Shop, to offer free electronics recycling of computers, monitors, fax machines, copiers, DVD or VCR players, radios, telephones, cell phones, televisions, cameras, and stereo equipment.

Watch: I’m a Mac … and I’ve Got a Dirty Secret and learn about what our computers have to do with tragedies in the Congo.

Tekserve: The components in many electronics can be incredibly hazardous to the environment – contributing up to 70% of the toxins found in landfills – so it’s important that they are properly recycled. Sponsored collection events, like this one, are one of the easiest ways to properly dispose of your old gadgets in NYC. Due to funding constraints, the city’s electronics recycling events and the Build It Green electronics drop-off program have been suspended.
