New stuff for the holidays? As we upgrade, we’re left with old cellphones or computers. UNM has its own recycling plant for its vast scope of equipment to help “keep it green” and out of the landfill. Here’s some online resources for the consumer.
Recycling computers: Manufacturers like Dell (dell.com), HP (hp.com) and Apple (apple.com) offer recycling options.
Donating computers: The National Cristina Foundation (cristina.org) will hook up your old PC or Mac with a nonprofit organization.
Recycling cell phones: Drop off your old cell phone at your local Staples store as part of a Sierra Club recycling effort (sierraclub.org/cellphones/).
Recycling cell phones and batteries: To find a drop-off center for rechargeable batteries and cell phones, check out the nonprofit Call2Recycle program at rbrc.org.
If you know of any other local resources for recycling electronics, please drop us a line at the webmaster address at the bottom of the page.
