E-cycle Coupon Program
The City & County of Denver, in partnership with Best Buy and Guaranteed Recycling Xperts (GRX), is now offering an Electronics Recycling Coupon Program.  The E-cycle Coupon will allow residents to drop-off their televisions, monitors and other electronic items at GRX’s recycling facility at a significantly discounted rate.  Residents may request an E-cycle coupon by visiting Denver Recycles online at www.DenverGov.org/DenverRecycles or by calling 3-1-1.
 
The E-cycle coupons are for residents living in the City & County of Denver only and there is a limit of one coupon per home.  Only a limited number of E-cycle coupons will be available and coupons will have an expiration date.   Electronic items will need to be brought to GRX’s facility during normal working hours and residents will need to present the coupon on arrival.
 
Recycling fees with the E-cycle coupon are as follows:

GRX has signed the Basel Action Network (BAN) pledge which states they will not engage in the exporting or “dumping” of e-waste, or in the use of prison labor in their recycling process. The Basel Action Network is an international non-profit organization that monitors the international trade of toxic wastes.
 
Please note that most televisions currently in use will not need replacing due to the switch to digital broadcasting.  Only residents using an antenna with their television (either rooftop or “rabbit ears”) will be affected by this change and purchasing a converter box will prevent the need to replace a television.  Televisions connected to cable, satellite or other pay TV services will not be affected.  If you must replace a television, the City & County of Denver encourages residents to recycle their old televisions and other electronics by participating in the Electronics Recycling Coupon Program and not throwing electronics in the trash.  Like most electronic waste, televisions and monitors contain hazardous materials such as lead.  When these items are broken they can release these hazardous materials and spread them to trash collectors and the environment.

Important Update on Digital Television Transition

Don’t Toss Out That Old TV Set Yet!

 

On February 17, 2009, many television stations will stop broadcasting in analog over-the-air signals and officially switch to digitally broadcasted signals.  The switch to digital broadcasting is federally mandated and is designed to improve quality and free up airwaves for emergencies.  All television stations will be required to make the switch to digital by June 12, 2009.

 

What does this mean for you?  Only residents using an antenna with their television (either rooftop or “rabbit ears”) will be affected by this change and there are ways to avoid having to toss your TV out.  Residents can simply purchase a converter box that will convert the digital signal into a format the television can display.  Televisions connected to cable, satellite or other pay TV services will not be affected.

 

To assist analog TV owners, Congress created the Converter Box Coupon Program, which will provide up to two coupons per household (worth $40) towards subsidizing the purchase of converter boxes.  The converter boxes are being sold by large national chains and are expected to cost between $50 and $70 each.  Residents can request converter box coupons by calling 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009) or visiting the National Telecommunications and Information Administration website at www.dtv2009.gov.  The deadline for requesting coupons is March 2009.

 

If you must replace a television, the City & County of Denver encourages residents to recycle their old televisions and other electronics and not to throw them in the trash.  Like most electronic waste, televisions contain hazardous materials such as lead.  When television sets are broken they can release these hazardous materials and spread them to  trash collectors and the environment.  A list of local companies accepting televisions for recycling can be found online in Denver Recycles' “Recycling Directory.”  Please note there is usually a fee in the range of $5 to $50 for recycling televisions and monitors depending on the size, make and model.
