[Helpdesk] Hazardous Waste Day THIS SUNDAY

[Andrew Main]

Uh, this is not an offer by the poster to accept old equipment for  
recycling; it is a notice about the City of Santa Fe's Hazardous  
Waste Recycling Day, which occurs once each year, usually on the  
third Sunday of April. You have to take your stuff to the Transfer  
Station, shown on the map.

Most years this one day each year is the only opportunity to actually  
recycle computers (rather than put them in the "landfill") in Santa  
Fe -- though several years ago Office Depot was accepting computer  
equipment for recycling for about a month as part of a national program.

And no, I don't believe they will accept a fax machine. The computers  
are recycled by Dell, who provide a truck that day at the Transfer  
Station. I have a dead TV and asked about that, but they wouldn't  
take it. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it; probably  
try to ship it to somewhere where they do recycle such stuff.

I'll be taking a carload of old computer junk to the event; if you  
have small stuff like a keyboard and mouse, you can bring it to me  
and I'll put it in with my stuff.
