It is expected that this program will keep over 200,000 pounds of toxic e-waste out of landfills. Loveland chose GRX for this program because we are BAN e-Stewards and demonstrate unparalleled commitment to environmental stewardship. Until now Pueblo has not had a permanent collection depot for e-waste. But due to the committed efforts of Susan Finzel-Aldred, Environmental Coordinator with the City/County Environmental Health Division, and the hard work of Jack Pendleton, Director of Colorado Roll-off Services (CRS), Pueblo area residents can now recycle most types of electronic equipment at the Pueblo Solid Waste Transfer Station at 1405 Quartz Road at the north end of Pueblo. The transfer station created a fully contained, sheltered, and supervised drop-off station for e-waste including computers, TV’s, printers, cell phones, and most items with an electric plug. Recycling fees apply and the Center will begin accepting items in mid February. This program is a huge step forward for the Pueblo community and GRX is gratified that our record of responsible recycling resulted in being selected as a partner for this program. See the Pueblo Cheiftain article here. GRX featured on cbs4 — January 2009 GRX is partnering with the city of Denver and Best Buy to offer recycling discounts to residents of Denver.
