Continuing Education
Join the New Mexico Recycling Coalition for tours, training, and networking opportunities throughout 2024 and earn continuing education units (CEUs). NMRC partnered with the New Mexico Environment Department: Solid Waste Bureau (NMED: SWB) to offer CEUs that can be used towards recertification as a recycling, compost, transfer station, and landfill-certified operator. Certified operators need to get 24 hours of CEU credits within three years, and each day-long training will offer 8 CEUs. The trainings include tours and hands-on activities and are open to everyone, not just certified operators. Learn more and register to attend here.

Leading New Mexico Onward
Since 1991, the New Mexico Recycling Coalition has served as a resource to provide recycling information to professionals in the field, as well as to the public. Our vision is to create a New Mexico where discarded materials are valued and managed as resources, not waste. We serve as recycling advocates, partnering with a diverse group of stakeholders, including communities, businesses, and grassroots activists, to help build sustainable and efficient recycling programs.
