Bring your E-waste to
Siler Road free of charge
All those old computers, printers, cell phones – maybe even that old
eight-track tape player you have been storing in the garage or attic - can be
disposed of free of charge thanks to the Keep Santa Fe Beautiful program.
E-waste may be dropped off from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 13, at 1142
Siler Road. Keep Santa Fe Beautiful, the City of Santa Fe and Albuquerque
Recycling Inc. are sponsoring E-Waste Recycling Drop-Off
Day.
“This event
is an opportunity to recycle these and other types of items while also helping
to preserve valuable landfill space,” said Gilda Montaño, coordinator
for Keep Santa Fe Beautiful.
Cameras,
video cameras, stereo equipment, VCR’s and CD/DVD players, printers, scanners,
fax machines, flat screen monitors, computer monitors and equipment such as
central processing units, keyboards, wire, cables, computer mice, television
satellite equipment, Palm Pilots and hand-held electronic devices, and computer
games, microwave ovens, batteries are just some of the items that can be
recycled.
These items
won’t be accepted on E-Waste Recycling Drop-Off Day: televisions, old
style CRT computer monitors, coffee makers, household hazardous waste,
appliances, hair dryers, bread machines, light bulbs of any kind, cardboard or
paper (the City of Santa Fe does offer curbside recycling of cardboard and most
paper items).
Keep Santa Fe
Beautiful is a not-for-profit educational organization that sponsors
environmental awareness and education programs, including the twice-a-year
community clean-up days, the Adopt-a-Median program, the Waste-in-Place teacher
resource and training program, Otra Vez: Trash to Treasures, and the school
recycling program.
