We watch the show or movie and rarely even think about it. Not just electronics but a whole lot of everyday stuff many in the audience don’t even know existed.
Since early 2012, the E-Waste Warehouse has been helping New Yorkers get rid of their unwanted electronics in an eco-friendly fashion. Some of the best finds however, make it into the warehouse’s very own prop library, where they are made available for film and television productions to rent and use.
The operation is part of the Lower East Side Ecology Center, a non-profit organization founded in 1987 and one of the first to pioneer community-based recycling programs in New York City. The E-Waste Warehouse is where you can take that old VCR or your grandfather’s console TV so that their e-waste and the toxic chemicals it contains stay away from landfills at all costs.
