Local nonprofits, schools, and government agencies are invited to participate in a FREE electronic waste recycling event Wednesday, October 16 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. Hosted by United Way of Westchester and Putnam, Veolia and Atlantic, the event will take place at the offices of United Way, located at 336 Central Park Ave. in White Plains. Appointments are required.

“The cost of disposing of old electronic equipment is burdensome for many of our partners,” said United Way of Westchester and Putnam CEO Tom Gabriel. “By offering this service to the community for free we are ensuring that the agencies can increase their capacities while also arranging for the secure and environmentally safe way of discarding the broken or antiquated equipment.”
