Broadway Green Alliance Winter 2015 Free E-Waste Drive Postponed

Due to the recent inclement weather in New York City, the Broadway Green Alliance (BGA) has moved the date of its theater industry E-waste drive from January 28 to February 4. Aimed at making recycling electronic devices easier, the recycling event will be held from 11am-2pm in the Gershwin Theatre Breezeway at 222 W 51st Street (between Broadway and 8th Avenue). It is open to all shows, theaters, industry members, and fans.

BGA has teamed up with Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), the nation's leading recycler of electronics and E-waste, to ensure all donations are properly recycled and all data on the devices erased — free of charge. Effective January 1, 2015, it is illegal to throw out electrical items in New York State.

Accepted donations this year include laptops, desktops, monitors, televisions and remotes, computer cables, mice, keyboards, gaming consoles, telecom equipment, small electronic appliances (coffee makers, toasters), cellphones and accessories, as well as holiday lights. Light bulbs, wet cell batteries, air conditioners, and batteries will not be accepted.
