RECYCLE YOUR UNUSED ELECTRONICS
Did you know that 87% of electronic devices (TV’s Stereos, Computers, Cassette Players, etc) end up in landfills? These devices contain lead, mercury & cadmium which cause cancer. It is estimated that 70% of the toxicity in landfills comes from equipment. And you can recycle your old electronics on Sunday, November 16th from 8am – 2pm at the Staten Island Mall (parking lot F). http://www.greenisuniversal.com/greenscreens/

We can help
New York City residents looking for ways to better understand the city’s recycling rules have a new ally in the
Office of Recycling Outreach and Education.

The Office of Recycling Outreach and Education was established at the Council on the Environment of New York City at the end of 2006. Our recycling coordinators are now available to help educate residents and building service staff on what can be recycled and how to go about meeting the city’s requirements. Free of charge!
Our mission is to help New Yorkers increase the amount of recyclables diverted from the waste stream and promote waste reduction, materials reuse and composting efforts.
Our free services include:
• Building waste audits to assess current recycling programs and identify areas for improvement
• Tenant training sessions
• Special recycling collections for textiles, electronics and compost
• Special events such as community swap days
• Information on waste reduction, reuse and composting programs offered by the City and other local groups.
For more information or to request assistance from a
recycling outreach coordinator, visit http://www.cenyc.org and click on Recyling.

My heart goes out to the underemployed acting community of our fair city.

If you or anyone you know has ever been employed to dress up as a reclycing bin, please contact me. I’d love to do a tell-all!

If success is measured in how many “go f*ck yourself” replies a person dressed in a recycling bin can illicit.
