Most of us love professional fireworks shows, but when our neighbors and others set off illegal fireworks, we don’t feel the love. For those with PTSD or nervous pets, fireworks are an assault on the senses. And with all of us especially skittish about fires, law enforcement understands your concerns.

That said, a growing number of Colorado businesses and counties that recycle electronics or paint year-round for free or a small charge.
