Computer & Equipment Recycling in Albuquerque

Updated: Feb 19

(And What We Can, and Cannot, Accept)


That old computer in the closet. The monitor sitting in the corner. The server you replaced last year but never dealt with. Tech piles up fast. But here’s the important part: computers, monitors, and batteries can contain toxic materials. They don’t belong in a landfill.


At Computer Corner, we take environmental responsibility seriously. We follow what we like to call the trinity of environmental stewardship: Reduce. Re-Use. Recycle.


Computer & Equipment Recycling in Albuquerque


How We Practice Responsible Recycling


Reduce

We start by selling high-quality technology designed to last at least five years. Durable systems mean fewer replacements and less waste over time.


Re-Use

When customers leave equipment for disposal, we carefully evaluate it. If a system is suitable, we recondition and repurpose it through our Equus Renewed program.


Important clarification: We do not buy used computers. If equipment is left with us for recycling and meets our internal standards, we may refurbish it, but we do not purchase used devices from the public.


Recycle

If equipment cannot be reused, we responsibly sort it and partner with a trusted local recycler to ensure proper disposal. Nothing gets tossed casually. Everything is handled intentionally.


What We Can Recycle


We accept:

  • Desktop computers

  • Laptop computers

  • Tablet computers

  • Servers

  • Printers & scanners

  • LCD/LED monitors (no TVs or CRT monitors)

  • Computer parts

  • Laptop batteries

  • UPS batteries


If you’re unsure about an item, feel free to call and ask.


What We Cannot Recycle


We do not accept:

  • TVs

  • CRT monitors

  • Small appliances (microwaves, etc.)

  • Alkaline batteries


For alkaline batteries, you may contact Batteries Plus. For other recycling needs, you can contact CABQ Recycling or call 311 for alternatives.


When to Drop Off


You can bring acceptable items to Computer Corner during normal business hours:

Monday – Friday: 9am to 5pm

No appointment needed, just bring it by.


Why It Matters


Recycling electronics properly protects:

  • The environment

  • Our local community

  • Future generations


It also ensures that sensitive components are handled appropriately instead of ending up in a landfill. If you have outdated tech taking up space, let’s handle it responsibly.


Reduce. Re-Use. Recycle. That’s how technology should be managed.
