COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Do you have a bunch of old electronics that you’ve been meaning to get rid of? Bring them to the 9NEWS E-Cycle on Saturday, April 27.
To help recycle electronics properly, 9NEWS has once again partnered with Techno Rescue to host the event in Parking Lot H at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City from 7 a.m. until 12 p.m.
By recycling your electronics, you’re helping save energy, reduce pollution and conserve resources.
There are a lot of items that can be recycled: TVs, computers, VCRs, stereos, printers, fax machines, cell phones, microwaves, small appliances and more. All data, media and storage will be wiped and physically destroyed to protect your identity.

- LCD Monitors - $5 each
- CRT Monitors - $20 each

Techno Rescue will accept cash, credit/debit cards and checks at the event to pay these fees, but they prefer cash to help the line move quickly.
