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.

2024 Trainings

The NM Recycling Coalition, in partnership with the NM Environment Department: Solid Waste Bureau, will host the next 2024 Compost Facility Operators Course on November 19-21. Both courses will be in Albuquerque. 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.
