Get Rid Of Old Electronics And Support Prospect Park At Upcycle Fest

Have some old electronics rotting away in the apartment? Bring them up the slope to Upcycle Fest, a free 2-day collection taking place on Sunday, October 27 and Monday, October 28.

Electronics can be dropped off in different locations across the park, and instead of living forever in a landfill, they’ll be repurposed, with proceeds benefiting the Prospect Park Alliance and City Parks Foundation. 100% of data destruction is guaranteed and the service is HIPAA compliant.

On our side of the Slope, walk-in drop-offs can be made at Bartel-Pritchard Square (15th Street and Prospect Park West) from 8am to 2pm on Monday, October 28. Other times and locations include:

3rd Street Entrance off Prospect Park West: walk-ins
Willink Entrance: Drive-in drop-offs
Grand Army Plaza safety zone:  walk-ins
