Addabbo and Holden partner to bring e-waste recycling event to Ridgewood playground this March

This March State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. is partnering with Councilman Robert Holden, Lower East Side Ecology Center, and Friends of Rosemary’s Playground to bring an electronic waste recycling event to the community.

On Saturday, March 20, representatives from the Lower East Side Ecology Center will be at Rosemary’s Playground — located along Fairview Avenue, between Woodbine and Madison Streets in Ridgewood — from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to collect e-waste to be properly recycled.

Acceptable electronics include all working and non-working computers, monitors, printers/scanners, keyboards, mice, cables, TVs, VCRs & DVD players, phones, audio/visual equipment, cell phones, and PDA’s.

“These recycling events are some of the most popular events that we host because it gives the people within our districts a central location right in their own community to properly dispose of their unwanted or broken electronics without facing a fine for putting them with their normal garbage,” Addabbo said. “I would like to thank Bob Holden for joining me, the staff at the Lower East Side Ecology Center, and the Friends of Rosemary’s Playground for helping to make this event possible. I encourage everyone to come out to Rosemary’s Playground to recycle their electronic waste.”
