In 2026, we are offering Community Recycling Events in all five boroughs to accept unwanted electronics and textiles. Additionally, we will offer a select number of reuse cafe collaborations where you can learn how to fix items such as clothes, appliances, and electronics, as well as paint collection opportunities.
All events are 10am to 2pm, rain or shine, unless otherwise noted.
