Volunteers sought to help with event
UNM students, faculty and staff have the opportunity to recycle old personal computers, cell phones, clock radios, cords, TV sets, DVD Players, VCRs and other electronic items in an environmentally safe way on Saturday, Dec. 1. The event, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., will be held at the far west end of the T Lot on the corner of Lomas and University N.E.
The UNM Staff Council Environs Committee, UNM Recycling and UNM Information Technology Services are sponsoring the electronic recycling event, which is meant for “personal” electronics only. UNM departmental electronics cannot be discarded and will not be accepted at this event.
Additionally, all personal data must be removed or overwritten on both personal computers and cell phones because they may be commercially refurbished and reused.
To remove personal data from a PC visit: PC Data Removal.
For information regarding the removal of cell phone data visit: Cell Phone Recycling Data.
The staff council Environs Committee is searching for volunteers to help with the event. If interested, call Linda McCormick at 269-6131 or via e-mail at, lindamcc@unm.edu.
