Get rid of your harmful household products safely.

On Saturday, June 17th, Assemblyman DenDekker will be hosting a SAFE Event from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM.
Automotive products (car batteries, oil, anti-freeze), electronics (monitors, cell phones, televisions, remotes), household products (paint, light bulbs,batteries, fire extinguishers), and medical items (expired/unwanted medication, syringes, thermometers) will be accepted.

Microwaves, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, refrigerators, and car tires will not be accepted.

How to Package Materials for the Event
1. Look for items labeled DANGER, POISON, WARNING, or CAUTION.
2. Do not mix products.
3. Ensure products are labeled clearly.
4. Tightly seal and package all containers.

Tips: Syringes and lancets should be packaged in a “sharps” container or other leak-proof, puncture-resistant container, and clearly labeled. TVs or computer monitors with broken glass should be placed in separate sealed bags or boxes.

These services will be held in the Jackson Heights Shopping Center on 31st Ave & 75th St. If you have any questions, please contact Assemblyman DenDekker's office at (718) 457-0384.
