Do you have old electronics lying around, or old oil or fluorescent bulbs you don’t know what to do with? There are resources to safely dispose of this waste here in Douglas County.

Electronics events in Castle Rock: Reserve your spot today
E-waste recycling events are back. The first event will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 13, at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Road in Castle Rock. To limit wait times, please reserve a drop-off time online. Proof of Douglas County residency will be required at the site. If you can’t make the Saturday event, weekday E-waste disposal is still available for free to Douglas County residents through the Techno Rescue site in Aurora. For a list of acceptable items at both sites, please visit our website. This event is for e-waste only!

Household Hazardous Waste
If you have recently painted your house, changed your car’s oil, or spruced up your lawn, you likely have products that require proper disposal to keep your family and our community safe. The Douglas County Health Department is partnering with Waste Management and other local jurisdictions to provide a low-cost household pickup service for hazardous waste removal year-round. Get details and sign up for your household pick-up at Waste Management’s website. The cost is $30 for Douglas County residents. To learn what items are accepted visit the household hazardous waste webpage. This program is designed for residential use only. Items must relate to reasonable homeowner activities.

If you just have paint, consider using one of the free drop-off locations offered through Colorado’s PaintCare program. If you have more than 10 gallons, call PaintCare at 720-854-8722 to see if you qualify for a free pickup.

When not disposed of or recycled correctly, E-Waste and other hazardous waste become a threat to our health and our environment. Together, we can safeguard our families, protect water quality, conserve landfill space, and reduce illegal dumping. For other disposal resources, visit our webpage.
