E-Waste Recycling Event: Upper West Side (Marlene Meyerson JCC)
Welcome to the E-Waste Recycling Event on the Upper West Side! We are excited to host this event in collaboration with the Marlene Meyerson JCC, aimed at promoting responsible electronic waste disposal. Join us as we take a step towards preserving the environment and making a positive impact in our community.
Why Recycle E-Waste?
Electronic waste, or e-waste, is a rapidly growing concern in today's digital age. As technology advances, so does the need to dispose of outdated devices. The improper disposal of e-waste poses significant environmental and health risks. E-waste contains hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, and cadmium that can contaminate soil and water sources if not handled properly. Recycling e-waste helps reduce pollution, conserve natural resources, and prevent the release of harmful substances into the environment.
About the Event
Our E-Waste Recycling Event will be held on the Upper West Side at the Marlene Meyerson JCC on [Event Date]. This event is open to all residents and businesses in the surrounding areas. We encourage everyone to gather their unwanted electronic devices and bring them to the event for proper disposal.

During the event, we will accept a wide range of electronic devices for recycling. This includes:
- Computers (desktops, laptops, and tablets)
- Monitors and televisions
