Albuquerque Hosts Free Electronics Recycling Event
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.

Is there a way to get a notice of upcoming these free electronic events?
I always see about them after the fact? Can there be an e-mail notice?? Please? I do not have to to search whereever the info is posted. Work full time and in college.
