Tekserve, a leading provider of technology solutions for creative professionals, invites NYC residents to turn over a new leaf at its next eWaste Electronics Recycling Event, co-hosted by the Lower East Side Ecology Center (Ecology Center), on Saturday, October 18, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., rain or shine. The event will take place at the Tekserve retail store, located at 119 West 23rd Street in New York City.

As of January 1, 2015, it will be illegal to dispose of electronics in the regular trash collection. In anticipation of this new law, Tekserve encourages interested participants to join the company in developing new recycling habits now. In addition to helping to reduce energy and water use, as well as pollution, properly recycling electronics cuts down on harmful toxins, such as lead and mercury, which could pollute our air and water.

“Now more than ever, it is important that people stay mindful as to what we can all do to better protect the planet,” says Albert Garcia, Store Manager, Tekserve. “At Tekserve, we are a group of proactive individuals, constantly looking to support such initiatives as eWaste recycling, from which the greater community can benefit. We hope to see a big turnout at the event and encourage all NYC residents, small businesses and non-for-profits to join us.”

During the event, Tekserve is also offering a $25 coupon to recyclers that can be used towards any in-store purchase or repair, totaling $100 or more. In addition, recyclers can choose to participate in the company’s eWaste raffle for a chance to win a new Apple^® MacBook Air^®.

While the eWaste recycling drive is open to all unwanted electronics, Mac^® or PC (regardless if they were purchased at the Tekserve store or not), household appliances such as microwaves and air conditioners, are not acceptable.

Various eWaste events will be occurring throughout the larger NYC metropolitan area until October 26th. For more information about these events visit: http://events.tekserve.com/events/category/ewaste-recycling/.
