During Father's Day weekend, Tekserve has teamed up with the Lower East Side Ecology Center to offer free electronics recycling on Saturday and Sunday from 10am-4pm and Monday from 4pm-7pm. New Yorkers will be able to recycle any of their old electronics gear - computers, monitors, printers, scanners, fax-machines, copiers, network devices, keyboards, mice, hard drives, components, TVs, VCRs, DVD players, radios, stereos, cell phones, pagers, PDAs, and telephones - at Tekserve on 23rd Street near 6th Avenue (Old iPods can be traded in for a 10% discount on a new iPod). 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.

The Lower East Side Ecology Center has offered community based recycling programs in NYC since 1987 and is one of the pioneers in computer recycling, a program started in 2003. The Center aims to bring recycling opportunities to diverse neighborhoods by offering three day recycling drives, staged at street corners, to capture electronics and to raise awareness about electronic waste.
