Electronics Recycling
Our full list of electronics are accepted at both Arvada & Broomfiled locations
We are in the process of obtaining our R2 CERTIFICATION!
This means that we adhere to the highest standards of worker
health & safety and ethics & sustainability in the electronics recycling field.
Our Practices
At SustainAbility, we ensure that all electronics are ethically handled from the time they enter our doors. We partner with environmentally responsible downstream recyclers for all focus materials who hold either eStewards or R2 certifications.

It is our goal to provide the most affordable recycling services possible to our community.
Due to recent changes in recycling markets, it has become more expensive for us to accept TVs containing wood. Because of these changes, we have been forced to raise our prices on these items.
We understand that these items are heavy and can incur a significant cost for ethical recycling.
Please be assured that we are doing everything that we can to keep our pricing as low as possible during these market fluctuations.
