How to save your old VCR from the landfill

Your old iPod deserves a better fate

If Santa granted wishes for a new computer or camera this year, you’ve probably got a pile of obsolete old machines taking up space in your apartment. We’re sure you know already how hazardous E-waste is when mixed with regular trash, but here’s an extra incentive to recycle this month: The Lower East Side Ecology Center and TekServe are teaming up for weekend recycling days all over the city. Every recycler can enter to win a MacBook Air or a sweet “I recycle NY” shirt, plus you can get discounts on Apple products. Take your computers, phones, VCRs and other trash to the two Brooklyn locations: Prospect Park West and 3rd Street on Jan. 16; or Habana Outpost in Fort Greene on Jan. 22. Check the full list for all acceptable recyclables and locations.

    or use felt to cover for abortion of liquids. decorate with magic markers on top. Like Santa faces, pumpkins, apples, grapes, smiley faces, flowers, or use your imagination.
