The city of Aurora is offering special event pricing for electronics recycling for residents (no business customers) from Dec. 26 to 29 and Jan. 2 to 6.

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: $5 each
• Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors and televisions 32 inches and under, and all sizes of flat screen televisions: $30 each
• CRT monitors and televisions 33 inches and over: $50 each
• Floor model printers: $40 each
• Projection, Digital Light Processing (DLP) and Console televisions: $100 each

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 special event pricing dates have been scheduled for 2024 as follows (subject to 2024 pricing): March 11 to 16 and March 18 to 22; June 17 to 22 and June 24 to 28; and Oct. 14 to 19 and Oct. 21 to 25.

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.
