Upcoming recycling and composting events
The post-holiday season can result in a lot of waste. Groups around New York City are offering a host of upcoming recycling and composting events to ensure that not everything simply ends up in a landfill.

You can also take away free mulch being offered by the city. 10am-2pm, Saturday and Sunday. The Department of Sanitation will also be offering curbside pickup of trees until January 15th.
- The Lower East Side Ecology Center (LESEC) is offering several E-waste recycling points in Manhattan and Brooklyn, this weekend and next, where you can dispose of unwanted or broken electronic devices.
