Also: a clothing rummage sale, with proceeds to help out the school. It all takes place at the PS 29 schoolyard at 425 Henry Street (Baltic Street between Henry and Clinton streets).

Specifically, old computers and electronics will be collected by Lower East Side Ecology Center, in conjunction with CHA. Acceptable items include: computers, monitors, printers, scanners, fax machines, copiers, network devices, keyboards, mice, cables, hard drives, CD-roms, circuit boards, VHS & DVD players, radios & stereos, phones, answering machines, pagers, batteries and the like.
