Broadway Green Alliance Announces Winter 2015 Free E-Waste Drive

The Broadway Green Alliance (BGA) is sponsoring an E-waste drive for the theater industry and fans on Wednesday, January 28. Aimed at making recycling electronic devices easier, the recycling event will be held from 11am-2pm in the Gershwin Theatre Breezeway at 222 West 51st Street (between Broadway and 8th Avenue) and 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 now 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.
