Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), the nation's leading recycler of electronics and e-waste, joined forces with the Broadway Green Alliance (BGA) for a special e-waste collection event to take place right in the heart of Times Square in New York City on Wednesday, September 17. Many of Broadway's leading shows and stars got involved and encouraged fans of live theatre - and all residents of New York City in general - to take advantage of the opportunity to unload unwanted electronics while doing something good for the environment.

The BGA, the five-year-old industry initiative that educates, motivates, and inspires the entire theatre community to adopt environmentally friendlier practices, has rallied the Broadway community to support the event. Cast and crew members from several shows including: A Gentleman's Guide To Love And Murder, It's Only A Play, Jersey Boys, Kinky Boots, Late Show With David Letterman, The Lion King, Mamma Mia!, Motown, The Phantom Of The Opera, The Book Of Mormon, and Wicked, among others, were among the participants. Off-Broadway shows, theatrical offices, and theatrical unions also participated.
