If you have electronics you no longer need, Retrievr, a new company in Denver, will pick them up right from your doorstep, and then take them to be recycled. And, thanks to partnerships with Google, Apple, Amazon, Dell and Microsoft, everything will be picked up for FREE …until February 28, 2023. Whether your item gets resold as-is or gets recycled, Retrievr hopes to ensure that the products of tomorrow are born from recycled material.
To take advantage of the doorstep pickup, residents in the city and county of Denver can go to Retrievr’s website.
You tell them what you are recycling and choose a pickup date. On that day, a truck will come to your house and take care of the rest.
Retrivr accepts most electronic devices or accessories. They will NOT take household appliances, such as dishwashers, refrigerators, toasters, vacuums, hair dryers and similar.
Check out their website for a list of unaccepted items.
Normally, Retrievr charges a base $20 doorstep convenience fee, plus additional fees for items such as TVs and monitors. So this is a significant savings.
Let us know, by leaving a comment, if you try Retrievr and if it works as promised.
I tried this service after seeing this post. I had to wait several weeks to get on the schedule, but it worked like clockwork. Got a reminder message yesterday and another today (good thing), put the item out on the porch and it was picked up just now.
