Albuquerque Hosts Free Electronics Recycling Event

by Trey Granger

Following the success of an electronic recycling event in April that recycled 500,000 pounds of electronics, the city of Albuquerque is hosting a free electronics collection drive for residents and small businesses on August 22-23.

The event is a partnership between the city and Intel New Mexico, Natural Evolution and KOAT-TV. Commercial recycling will take place on August 22 from 8:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Residents can bring their obsolete electronics the following day from 8:00 a.m-2:00 p.m.

Accepted items include:

  • Computers, monitors and accessories
  • Office-related equipment
  • Telephones/cell phones
  • Cameras
  • Stereo equipment

Televisions and household appliances will not be accepted. Items will be accepted at a parking lot south of Balloon Fiesta Park.

The city is also launching a pilot program for year-round electronics recycling at Eagle Rock Convenience Center. Use Earth911 to find a location to recycle electronics no matter where you live.

    I have a console TV from the 80’s which works with an RF modulator fine. I would
    like to get rid of it. I live in the UNM area. Please call me at 254-2255 if you’re interested
    in removing it.
