Sept. 15 e-cycle event to allow residents to recycle electronics
AURORA, Colo. – Electronics tossed in the trash cause serious environmental problems. So the city of Aurora is
offering an e-cycling event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Aurora’s Central Facilities, 13646 E. Ellsworth Ave., to give
residents a place to recycle that unwanted technological gadgetry.
Both Aurora residents and non-residents may bring DVD players, computers, VCRs, stereos, printers, fax machines,
cell phones, microwaves, small appliances and more to be recycled. The cost is $2 for most items (except for
computer monitors, which cost $10 each, and televisions, which are $15 each).
The e-cycling drop-off site will be located in the south end of the city’s Wastewater/Stormwater building parking lot,
where the city’s single-stream recycling drop-off site is located.
Electronics will be recycled by Metech International, one of the state’s premier electronic waste recyclers. The event
is sponsored by Environment Aurora, a citywide effort to think green.
Another e-cycling event is scheduled for Oct. 13 at the Tallyn’s Reach Library, 23911 E. Arapahoe Road.
For more information, call the city of Aurora recycling hotline at 303-739-7173 or visit www.auroragov.org/recycle.
