Please make sure that we have the most current contact information for you, so you are able to stay up-to-date on changes and events at ESE when The Big E is not in town.

In order to comply with state and federal law and to continue to be a good corporate citizen, Eastern States Exposition is embarking on a comprehensive recycling program for all light bulbs We are now prohibited from placing any type of light bulbs in our waste stream. ESE has contracted with Safety Kleen Corporation to handle the large number of bulbs that are generated, especially during the Fair. It is all of our responsibility to ensure that no one deposits light bulbs in any of our dumpsters or we could face huge fines. All vendors and suppliers will need to comply. It will be our mission in the Sales department to educate you of the importance of this program
