Tekserve and the Lower East Side Ecology Center to Host 3rd Annual Technology Recycling Drive

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tekserve has teamed up again with the Lower East Side Ecology Center to offer free electronics recycling on Saturday January 10th from 10 AM to 4 PM. The collection point will be at 119 West 23rd Street in front of Tekserve’s retail store.

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.

To celebrate the event, anyone bringing electronics to be recycled can register at Tekserve for a raffle to win a new aluminum MacBook or one of three 16GB iPod nanos. All participants in the event will also receive a coupon for a $25 discount on any new current model iPod (except shuffle) or computer purchased within 30 days after the event. Coupons cannot be combined with other offers.

Recyclable items include: computers, monitors, fax machines, copiers, DVD or VCR players, radios, telephones, cell phones, televisions, cameras and stereo equipment. Unfortunately, we cannot accept home appliances such as microwaves, stoves, refrigerators and air conditioners. Individuals only; no commercial or bulk drop-offs.
