Douglas County offers free electronics recycling drop-off Saturday

Douglas County residents can unload old computers, televisions and other household electronics for free on Saturday, June 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at PedalPoint Lifecycle Solutions in Aurora.

There is no fee for the program and no limit on the number of household electronics a resident can bring. The drop-off site is at 3251 Lewiston Street, Suite 10, in Aurora, where residents must check in at the front office and say the load is for the Douglas County event. Proof of residency is required, including a driver’s license or state ID.

The offer covers a wide range of household electronics, including computers and all types of televisions. It does not cover appliances, and loads with refrigerators, microwaves, air conditioners, washing machines or dryers will not be accepted.

The Saturday drop-off is part of a year-round county program that also runs weekdays at the Aurora facility from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with occasional Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Residents can recycle electronics there free throughout the year, and the program has handled heavy volume in recent years.

In 2024, Douglas County recorded 5,181 residents dropping off 557,057 pounds of electronics. Douglas County recorded 3,906 residents and 464,828 pounds in 2023, 3,118 vehicles and 359,874 pounds in 2022, and 3,113 resident drop-offs totaling 394,958 pounds in 2021. Earlier county-recorded events collected 275,823 pounds in 2019, then 246,000 pounds at one 2020 event and 189,225 pounds at another.

The county is also building out a more centralized waste network in Sedalia. Its GreenWorks site at 5675 Delva Way is scheduled to begin electronics recycling on July 6, 2026, as part of a phased rollout that will later add household hazardous waste and biochar services.
