Community E-Waste and Textile Events
NO REGISTRATION NEEDED
DSNY holds e-waste and textile collection events in every Community Boards district in New York City. These pop-up events are a free and convenient way for NYC residents to get rid of e-waste and textiles.
It is illegal for New Yorkers to dispose of certain electronic devices with trash or recycling.
These events give New Yorkers an opportunity to recycle items that are not collected curbside. These events are for NYC residents ONLY, not businesses. Commercial vehicles are NOT allowed.
