Electronics Recycling Event Ends Oct. 25
The city of Aurora is offering special event pricing for electronics recycling for residents (no business customers) from Oct. 14 to 19 and Oct. 21 to 25.
The city’s electronics recycling event is happening at Techno Rescue—the city’s e-cycling partner. The facility at 3251 Lewiston St., Suite 10, will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
Most electronic items—desktop computers, laptops, cell phones, tablets, gaming equipment, consumer electronics and similar—are accepted. A fee of $5 will be charged per vehicle/individual for one standard grocery bag and $10 per vehicle/individual for any load greater than one standard grocery bag. Cash or debit/credit card is preferred as payment.
To address the rising costs associated with processing select electronics, the following additional fees will be applied to recycle these items:
• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitors/LCD All in One Computer (iMac): $5 each
• Flat screen TV (all sizes): $20 each
• TVs and CRT monitors (all sizes): $40 each
• Floor model printers: $30 each
• Projection, DLP and console TVs: $75 each
A complete list of items that are not accepted is available at AuroraGov.org/Recycle.
Techno Rescue, which is certified for electronics recycling and data destruction, wipes and physically destroys all data storage media to protect the identities of those who are recycling responsibly.
Additional dates for special event pricing have been scheduled for 2025 (closed on Saturdays): Jan. 6 to 11, March 31 to April 11, July 7 to 18, and Oct. 6 to 17.
As a reminder, electronics tossed in the trash not only cause serious environmental problems, but also are banned from landfills in Colorado. Environment Aurora, a citywide effort to think green, supports the city of Aurora’s electronics recycling events. For more information, visit AuroraGov.org/Recycle.
