Get the lead out recycling program is a low cost way to dump toxic electronic waste

"Get the Lead Out" is being held in the RV parking lot east of the Lionshead parking structure May 14th from 10:00-2:00.  You can bring your old computer parts for recycling.  MeTech, who is doing the recycling, ensures data security by destroying the hard drive and will provide you with a certificate guaranteeing the destruction of the disc.  The cost is $5 per computer or small printer; $10 for monitors up to 17” and larger printers; very large items may cost more. There is no charge to recycle keyboards and other accessories with a computer.  Shredding of important documents is also being done by Paper Wise of Glenwood Springs.  The cost is $10.00 a box.  The shredding is done on site and then the shredded paper is either recycled or composted.


“Get the Lead Out” is sponsored by the town of Vail, Eagle County, NRC Broadcasting and All Mountain Technologies. For more information or questions, call Bill Carlson, town of Vail environmental health officer at 970-479-2333, or call Matt Scherr with Eagle Valley Alliance at 970-827-9999.
