From the streets of Providence, birds perched high on downtown architecture may look like ordinary pigeons, but a keen eye and powerful lens bring the rare peregrine falcons into view. For over ten years, the fastest animal on the planet has patrolled the downtown skyline, protecting their territory and successfully rearing over 30 chicks. But the falcons are not the only raptors in town! in colder months various red-tailed hawks can be spotted. Contrary to urban legend, these birds of prey are not brought in by the local government to rid the city of vermin -- they are completely wild and reclaiming their territory. Peter Green is a photographer and graphic designer living and working in downtown Providence (www.providenceraptors.com). He walks the city, documenting urban wildlife from nesting robins to busy muskrats. His favorite subjects of all are the regal, powerful raptors who seem out-of-place yet perfectly-at-home amongst the bricks and concrete. Peter's show will run from September 5th through October 12th . Free with admission.

E-Waste is accepted at the Central Landfill every day, Monday through Saturday, during our normal business hours, and at all Johnston collections listed above. No appointments are needed for e-waste drop-offs.

The Eco-Depot serves approximately 25 people every 15 minutes. Appointments are used to avoid everyone arriving at one time, thus reducing waiting times for all.

The Central Landfill is located at 65 Shun Pike, Johnston, RI, 02919. Please call 401-942-1430 ext. 241 to make an appointment for the Eco-Depot.

*Please note that not all Eco-Depot off-site collections will accept e-waste. Only if the schedule specifically notes “Computer”, will e-waste be collected at that event. There may be other local e-waste recycling options. Please contact your municipal Department of Public Works or Recycling Coordinator.
