I Saved The Energy. The Bulb Is Dead. So Is The Computer. Now What?
by John Weckerle
Well, with respect to the compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) bulbs you’ve been told not to toss in the trash, there’s a handy option. On June 24, The Home Depot announced that it would accept expired CFLs at all their stores. Just take them to the returns desk, and the representative there will take them. As most of us know, the nearest store to New Mexico’s REAL Central Valley and the East West Mountains is the one on Eubank Blvd SE and Central Avenue, just north of Costco.
This is short notice, but New Mexico Business Weekly reports that the City of Albuquerque, Intel, KOAT TV, and Natural Evolution have teamed up to hold their annual electronics recycling drive. Unfortunately, we were late in discovering this information, and the time for small businesses to drop off their old equipment was today. Residents may drop their items off tomorrow. For times and locations, see the New Mexico Business Weekly article.
