Please be advised NO hazardous liquids, drugs or light bulbs such as paints, medications, household chemicals or compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) will be processed at this event.
Electronics Recycling
Back again this year, most electronics will be recycled for free by R2 Stewardship Responsible Computer & Electronic Recycling Solutions, except computer CRT monitors for which there is a charge of $10 each and tube TVs for $20 under 24” and $40 for sizes 25” and over. TVs must be intact or they will not be accepted. Items that will be free to recycle include computers, laptops, LCD monitors, hard drives, servers, scanners, printers, mice, keyboards and cables. Also bring your batteries, home and car stereo/video equipment, DVD/ VCR players, phones, cameras and metal scraps.
Large Trash Items
Waste Connections will be collecting all large trash items that our residents have to offer. Just get there before 2 p.m., as all your opportunities to deposit your unwanted items will be removed at that time.
Secure Paper Shredding
R2 Stewardship will be on-site to collect all your home office unwanted paperwork! Bring your boxes and bags of paper for shredding. R2 uses a disintegrator shredding machine that actually pulverizes the paper. The shredding will be done on-site, weather permitting. If the weather doesn’t allow for on-site shredding, then the paper will be put in secure containers and shredded off-site at R2′s warehouse.
Yard Debris
Let’s not forget our own crew, as the Ken-Caryl Metropolitan District Parks staff will be working the chipper accepting all your yard debris generated from creating defensible space around your home. Please no contractors, as all these services are for KCR residents.
What Not To Bring
We will not be able to recycle appliances that have coolant such as refrigerators, air conditioners or freezers. Also, NO prescription medications or hazardous materials such as paints, flammable liquids and cleaning fluids will be accepted at this event. To schedule a door-to-door pickup to dispose of household chemicals for a fee, call Rooney Road Recycling Center at 303-316-6262. For hazardous disposal information, please visit their website at www.rooneyroadrecycling.org. For prescription drug disposal, please see the information on the Jeffco Sheriff’s Drug Take-Back Day.

R2 Stewardship beats top recyclers in Denver, Colorado for TV Clean-Up. R2 Stewardship thru a bid process was awarded this clean up job of
thousands of TV's and other material abandoned by a "wanna be" electronic recycler!
We went up against the top electronics recyclers in our state to obtain
this job. We are proud to offer this service to residents and
businesses alike. This is here in DENVER, COLORADO not CHINA or another
country. Businesses calling them recyclers sometimes have no idea what
they are doing. Ask questions and get involved in where your e-waste or
other material is ending up. R2 Stewardship runs a transparent company
in order to prove that doing the right thing is very possible and being
done by us on a daily basis. Our goal is to become the absolute leader
in Colorado and beyond. Watch for us in upcoming news stories about the
completion of this job. Thanks to all those who support Environmental
Stewardship!

Bipartisan Electronic Recycling Job Act Passes Senate Committee
DENVER – Today, the Senate Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Energy Committee approved the Electronic Recycling Jobs Act, sponsored by Senator Gail Schwartz (D-Snowmass) to create new jobs in the recycling industry. According to the Colorado Association for Recycling, this bill will create as many as 2,500 recycling jobs in Colorado. In addition, the Electronic Recycling Jobs Act will keep used electronic products out of the landfills, and send them to recycling facilities so that the valuable materials contained in them can be preserved for future use.
The Electronic Recycling Jobs Act will help strengthen local economies by helping waste and recycling businesses to expand or create new facilities throughout Colorado. This legislation does not create any additional fees, will not require any state dollars, and creates a waiver process for communities that do not have access to electronic recycling. In addition, state agencies will be able to take advantage of existing private national certifications for handling electronic waste. Senator Schwartz offered the following comment on the committee passage of The Electronic Recycling Jobs Act, today:
“Senate Bill 133 creates new opportunities for the recycling and responsible disposal of the electronics we all enjoy, while reducing waste, protecting our groundwater and recovering resources. The more material we are recycling the more jobs we are creating. We can’t throw jobs into the landfill.”
Currently, Colorado throws away between 40,000 and 160,000 tons of electronic waste a year that could be reused for manufacturing. By keeping these products from landfills the free market will be responsible for determining a solution for how best to recycle the excess electronic products.
Cosponsor Senator Steve King (R-Grand Junction) offered the following comment on The Electronic Jobs Act today:
“Our bill puts into place a market driven framework that would create and expand the entrepreneurial opportunities to extract valuable raw materials from electronic waste. This approach will both create jobs and keep harmful materials out of our landfills. It’s good for business and its good for Colorado families.”
The Electronic Recycling Jobs Act is a key component in the Senate Majority’s “Colorado Works Jobs package,” a series of bills focused on continued job creation and economic growth.
This bill now goes for consideration by the full Senate.

By Brian Maass - DENVER (CBS4) – A CBS4 Investigation has found thousands of Coloradans are unknowingly making critical mistakes with their most precious personal information by discarding fax machines filled with everything from tax information, social security numbers, medical records, job offers and orders for prescription medications.
While most fax machines sold these days are inkjet or laser fax machines, you can still buy thermal fax machines. One expert estimates there are still millions in use. But as they break down, most people throw them out, donate them or have them recycled as it costs more to repair them than it would to buy a new machine. Henry Renteria-Vigil said he sees the same problem: consumers discarding thermal fax machines oblivious to the fact their personal information is still inside the machine. FULL STORY |
