Free Computer and Electronics Recycling


On August 22 and 23, you can recycle your old computers, stereos, fax machines, copiers, and mobile phones for FREE at Balloon Fiesta Park.

August 22nd is for commercial businesses, and August 23rd is for Albuquerque residents.
Why recycle? Recycling electronics rather than throwing them away protects Albuquerque's environment by preventing dangerous compounds like mercury, lead, and cadmium from leaching into the ground. Plus, the rebuilt electronics are being donated to local schools.
