Film Biz Recycling STILL CAN recycle your electronics, used cell phones, ink cartridges, building materials, set dressing, hardware, doors, props, wardrobe, partial expendables, etc.
HOWEVER,
The economic downward spiral even effects recycling as it is related to the commodities market, the NYT article link below explains. Film Biz Recycling is still new and continues to grow and evolve and this is just part of the process. That said, Film Biz Recycling can NO LONGER accept, cans, bottles, cardboard, or sets.
Please read the Press Release below for information and an alternative and convenient place to send your cans, bottles, sets and cardboard.
In other news, Film Biz Recycling was just awarded its first grant.
Thank you for your continued support of Film Biz Recycling.

PRESS RELEASE 12.08.2008
As of December 8th, 2008 Film Biz Recycling will not be able to receive sets, cardboard, cans and bottles at the Build it Green location.
This is due to the following:
-The recycling market is enduring a historic economic recession. Paper, metal and plastics prices have plummeted.
-A permit is needed to take in these items in the quantities we are now seeing.
-FBR/BIG does not currently have the facility to take in these materials in the quantities we are now seeing.
-Taking the items directly to Filco reduces the transportation carbon footprint.
However, we would like to introduce FILCO CARTING and MESEROLE STREET RECYCLING as an alternative for your recycling needs. They are a wonderful company that harvests 90% of their materials. They are convenient to the stages and the Mid-Town Tunnel.
Take your cans, bottles, cardboard and sets to:
Meserole Street Recycling
568 Meserole Street (Gardner/Scott)
Brooklyn, NY 11237
www.filcocarting.com
718-456-5000 x526 Jon or x529 Monica
Hours 7am-4pm
Case by case fair market charges for items, your company may set up an account or pay COD.
Call ahead! You may drop by unannounced, but you will have to go the office first at 111 Gardener (across the street)
Items they take:
CLEAR bags of cans and plastic bottles
metal recycling
light demolition (no concrete)
clean wood
general garbage not recyclable
flats (so we stop dumping them illegally)
Items they do NOT take:
heavy demolition
food
