Hard to Recycle Items:
If you have electronic equipment to recycle, you can bring it to the Pitkin County Solid Waste Center (landfill) for a nominal fee. Residents can also bring computers to City Hall – go to the finance window to fill out a donation form and pay the nominal fee ($20 for a complete computer, $10 for just a monitor or keyboard).

If you have printer toners you should call or go on the manufacturer’s website. Most companies offer free return shipping to recycle toners and cartridges. You can stop by the Environmental Health Office and pick up a pre-paid mailing envelope to send the cartridges off to be recycled

The Pitkin County Solid Waste Center (landfill) accepts various types of hazardous waste. Check out these websites, or call 923-3487, to get more information on what can be accepted and how to handle your hazardous waste.

If you have questions about other hard to recycle materials, please contact the City of Aspen at 920-5039.
