eWaste Recycling at Tekserve - April 2010

Interviews with Tekserve's Greg Wasserstrom and the Lower East Side Ecology Center program director Tara DePorte. Footage taken at the April 2010 eWaste recycling event at Tekserve, co-hosted with the Lower East Side Ecology Center.

Sponsored collection events like these are one of the easiest ways for New Yorkers to properly dispose of their old electronic gear and gadgets, which contain hazardous materials such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. These events help keep such materials out of landfills and are especially important since NYC currently offers no eWaste drop-off program of its own.
