Extra Special Ecycling Pricing Jan. 6 to 11

The city of Aurora is offering extra special event pricing for electronics recycling for residents (no business customers) from Jan. 6 to 11 to kick off 2025.

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 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Most electronic items-desktop computers, laptops, cell phones, tablets, gaming equipment, consumer electronics and similar-are accepted. Each carload is free, along with LCD monitors and floor model printers. 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:
• Flat screen TV (LCD/LED; all sizes): $10 each
• CRT monitors/CRT TVs (all sizes): $20 each
• Console, projection or DLP TVs: $40 each
• Certified data destruction with certificate: $5 per hard drive/data-containing device

A complete list of items that are not accepted is available at AuroraGov.org/Recycle (go to Electronics Recycling).

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 regular special event pricing have been scheduled for 2025 (closed on Saturdays): 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.
