To the Tenants of One World Financial Center:

Brookfield Properties is pleased to offer the tenants of One World Financial Center the opportunity to dispose of their e-Waste from each tenant's home. For this one-time, no-charge pick-up in 2010, Brookfield Properties offers its tenants the chance to unload its monitors, keyboards, CPUs, printers, telephones, surge protectors, etc. at One World Financial Center so that they can be properly recycled and disposed of in accordance with the law.

Simply bring in your e-Waste from home during the week of December 13th - December 17th, place the e-Waste in a location that has been designated by your facilities manager/contact within your leased space and ask them to enter an Angus call for us to pick-up the e-Waste. Our porters will then pick-up the e-Waste and send it off to be recycled, accordingly . E-Waste materials should not be left in Base Building areas, such as common corridors, the freight lobbies or elevator lobbies. After December 17, 2010 there will be a pick-up fee and per item charge, should you wish the Building to dispose of your e-Waste, so take advantage of this free, 2010 e-Waste pick-up.

Why Recycle electronics?

• Most electronics contain hazardous or toxic materials which can cause an environmental problem if discarded in the trash. Recycling electronics keeps substances like lead and mercury from harming people and the environment.
• Conserves natural resources - Valuable material can be recovered from old electronics, and these materials can be used to make new products. Recycling these products reduces the need to mine the earth for new raw materials.
• It's the Law. All businesses and institutions (including nonprofits) in NYC are required by law to recycle computer equipment, unless it is donated or resold for reuse. If not donating or selling unwanted electronics equipment for reuse, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation requires all businesses and institutions to dispose of used electronics through dismantlers and recyclers. Throwing these items away has resulted in hefty fines for many companies and corporations.

Should you have any questions, please contact the Building Office at 212-945-3388.

Thank you,

Brookfield Properties Management

Going Green in Lower Manhattan

The Alliance for Downtown New York is keeping Lower Manhattan green this fall – and would like your help.

Each year, the Downtown Alliance uproots more than 4,000 geraniums from Bowling Green Park and gives them away to people who work, live or visit downtown. And then, we return to Bowling Green the following week to plant thousands of tulips – brightening the city’s first public park at the tip of Broadway in the Canyon of Heroes.

We could use volunteers.

On Wednesday, October 13, all you need to do is drop by to receive your free geranium. The Adopt A Geranium event will be held from 10 AM to noon.

On Saturday, October 23, we will hold our Fall Community Planting Day from 10 AM to noon. There’s no need to bring any tools or gloves; they will be supplied by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, as well as a booth showing youngsters how to take care of plants. (And, Crumbs has pitched in to provide pumpkin cupcakes, too!)

Both events are part of the Downtown Alliance’s Going Green Downtown initiative, which is dedicated to building an environmentally sustainable Lower Manhattan. They are co-sponsored by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, New York City Council Member Margaret Chin, Community Board 1 and Crumbs.

If you’d like to pitch in, send volunteers, or just need more information, drop us a note at ContactUs@DowntownNY.com. You can learn more about the events and the Downtown Alliance at www.DowntownNY.com.

PLAYGROUND AT WEST THAMES PARK
TO OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON FRIDAY

The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has announced that the playground at West Thames Park, also known as Tire Swing Park, will re-open for public use on Friday, May 28, 2010 at 3:00PM.

The new playground features separate recreation areas for older and younger children, water-play elements for all ages, a toddler play area, and a children's basketball half-court. The playground also includes climbing structures, a new tire swing to replace the old one, rocking pieces, tables, colorful mushrooms and daisies, sand, and spring toys.

Regular hours for the playground area, as set by the Battery Park City Parks Conservancy, are 6:00AM to 1:00AM.

In addition, the dog runs for both large and small dogs are now open.

This is the first in a series of stages to be completed before the West Thames Park is finished and can officially open. For example, the new lawn has been sodded and will be allowed to "knit" until mid-June to make sure the lawn stays healthy; colored surface finishes are being applied to the two additional basketball half courts located outside the playground area; and, the Liberty Community Gardens will be transplanted to their new location inside the Park next weekend. As features are completed over the next few weeks, NYSDOT will announce their availability to the public.

More details can be found at www.route9a.info. If you have any further questions or require additional information, please contact the Community Outreach Liaison, Vivian Wu, by telephone at 1-800-714-0454 or by e-mail at route9a@dot.state.ny.us.
