E-Waste Recycling Event for Silver City NM - Earth Day

April 24th is the day to finally get rid of it. You know what I am talking about.

EWASTE COLLECTION RECYCLING Flyer - April 24, 2010 EARTH DAY

Does this sound like you? Three computers, two old monitors, two dinosaur modems and a scanner or two that hasn't been used in years - all gathering dust and taking space in what could be better utilized storage areas. How many cables and misc. connectors do you have there too?

Forgot to mention the handful of printers and all of the cables used to hook all of that unused stuff together. Everyone has something electronic that they don't use. I'm talking stuff that is known to be harmful to the environment and things that should not be allowed to ever make it to the landfill graveyard. Electronic waste must be handled professionally and carefully to avoid problems with heavy metals being released into the environment.

Hey Grant County. Hey Silver City. There are very few opportunities to do what is right with the electronic junk we all seem to hoard. Let's do it right. Let's do it together. See you on Saturday... ~alan

Yes, I "resemble the remark", and Saturday, I make room for more living space at home by safely and effectively disposing of my electronic accumulated waste materials.

Where: Silver City next door to Penny Park
When: Saturday EARTH DAY April 24th
What: A regular recycling event PLUS The Electronic Waste disposal event for 2010 sponsored by Silver City Recycling Advisory Committee and SWSWA - with financial supporting donation by Freeport McMoRan Copper and Gold...

Save our landfill. You may also save some poor third world child from breathing toxic fumes. No child should squat next to a burning bowl of melted solder (and unknown metals) in an attempt to earn a few cents from our old worn out discarded electronic scrap. Our collection service follows EPA and OSHA regulations, and all work is done in New Mexico. Save the world's children..

I'll see you there. We will also be collecting the regular recyclables on Earth Day, so bring all of your recyclables to Penny Park on Saturday. Celebrate the Earth... Thank you - in advance.

Silver City Sold Statistics March 2010

The Sold Statistics for March 2010 in Silver City New Mexico are up and posted at Silver City's Award Winning, Premier web site.

NO, it's still not a pretty picture, but those of us who are watching the market closely, are in agreement that there are signs of a possible pending uptick in the not too distant future.

Of interest ( to me anyway) in this report are the March residential sales reported. Of 19 sales, 6 (almost 1/3) were cash sales. This adds weight to my theory that much of the selling activity we have seen are for investor types looking strictly at value, and people converting low paying investments (cash, savings accounts, low interest cd's, etc) into something with a traditionally better return. The risk seems low and potential high vs. current financial returns we are getting at the bank.

I believe there are a number of folks who don't want to get shut out of what is looking like one of the better buying opportunities in recent times (one of the best that I've seen anyway).

Having aggressive cash buyers in the market place is working out for some Sellers too. Sellers interested in quick sales can get it done by making their home the BEST value in their price range. I like the fact that there are aggressive buyers in our market who are not just out looking... Action from these buyers is good. With all of the inventory available, I just wish there were more of these aggressive players to go around.

Whether buying or selling, it's important to take advantage of the opportunities where they are found.

I believe the increased activity we are seeing now is NOT attributable to the expiring First Time Buyers Tax Credit coming to an end later this month. It appears that we are seeing a bottoming process that's trying hard to get some legs.

Many of the tube's talking heads are in the camp that it will be years before we go full circle and put this downturn to rest. Although it generally does take time for a down market to turn fully and be realized, it could turn on a dime with the right circumstances.

Real Value properties seem to be more available here now than at any time in my years as a REALTOR.
