Electronics recycling

The City of Durango sponsors two 2-day Electronics Recycling Events semi-annually, in Spring and Fall. The events are held at:

Durango Recycling Center
710 Tech Center Dr
9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

The next Electronics Recycling Events will be held
April 23-24, 2010 and October 29-30, 2010.

Cathode ray tubes (CRT’s) and circuit boards found in computers and televisions contain significant amounts of lead, chromium, silver and many other toxic materials. Recycling electronics keeps hazardous materials out of our area landfills!

Electronics will not be accepted at the Recycling Center outside of the collection events.

All types of computer components and televisions are accepted from residents, businesses, governments and schools. Businesses, governments and schools are required by state law to safely dispose of hazardous wastes.

If you are bringing large quantities of electronics, please call ahead and bring a list of what you’re bringing. This will save time at the event.
