Pheffer Amato to Host Electronic Recycling Event at District Offices

South Queens, NY Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-South Queens) announced that she will be hosting an Electronic Recycling event with the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY). This event will allow individuals to drop off computers, monitors, printers/scanners, keyboards, mice, cables, TVs, VCRs & DVD players, phones, audio/visual equipment, cell phones, and PDA’s for proper recycling. However, due to safety protocols, the Assemblywoman’s office will not be able to accept air conditioners, appliances, batteries and light bulbs or ballasts.

“Recycling electronics can be difficult and confusing, so I am glad to bring this event to my community,” Assemblywoman Pheffer Amato said. “I would like to thank DSNY for their partnership and providing our constituent with an easy way to recycle their appliances in an environmentally friendly way.”

The event will take place the week of April 19, Monday through Friday from 9:30 am – 4 pm in the Rockaway Beach district office located at 95-16 Rockaway Beach Blvd. The Howard Beach district office will be open for E-waste drop off on April 22, from 9:30 – 4 pm, located 162-11 Cross Bay Blvd. For more information, call the Assemblywoman’s office at 718-945-9550.
