E-cycle event May 12 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. May 12 at the Tallyn’s Reach Library, 23911 E. Arapahoe Road, 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 $1 to $2 for most items (except for
computer monitors, which cost $10 each, and televisions, which are $15 each).
The drop-off site will be located in the parking lot of the Tallyn’s Reach Library.
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.
Future e-cycling events are scheduled for July 14 and Sept. 15 at the Aurora Municipal Center, and Oct. 13 at the
Tallyn’s Reach Library.
For more information, call the city of Aurora recycling hotline at 303-739-7173 or visit www.auroragov.org/recycle.
