Douglas County residents now have a convenient, local option to recycle unwanted electronics through GreenWorks, the County’s new one-stop location for waste diversion services.
Beginning July 6, residents can schedule appointments to drop off a wide range of electronic items at the GreenWorks site in Sedalia. The new service eliminates the need for residents to travel outside the County to dispose of electronics and expands access to responsible recycling year-round.
Electronics recycling is the second phase of the County’s GreenWorks rollout and will be followed by household hazardous waste disposal in August and a biochar facility in September.
Electronic recycling services are expected to eliminate more than 400,000 miles of annual resident travel to the current drop-off location in Aurora while saving the County approximately $105,000 each year.
