Reuse & Recycling Collections

Reuse & Recycling Collections

We provide our local NYC theatre community with an outlet to responsibly reuse and recycle select items. Before booking, please review our list of accepted items below. In addition to the items below, we also host four reuse and recycling drives in Times Square each year: two for textiles, and two for e-waste. All of these items are collected free of charge for our community members. You can find upcoming drive details and future dates on our events calendar.
