Electronics Recycling
SWANCC provides environmentally-responsible recycling programs for end-of-life computers
and electronics for residents of its member communities. In 2012, Illinois adopted legislation
that prohibits landfilling of "Covered and Eligible Electronic Devices" which are included under
the Acceptable Materials list on the right. Under the Illinois Environmental Protection Act,
there is a limit of 7 items per household and no electronics can be accepted from
municipalities, schools, businesses, or institutions.
Small household appliances, such as toasters, blenders, coffee makers, and lamps can be thrown away in the garbage
if they cannot be donated for reuse. Microwaves can be taken to a scrap metal company for recovery. Some
electronics may be taken to retailers such as a Goodwill or Best Buy store for recycling. Please call first to confirm that
your items will be accepted. See the Agency’s Green Pages Directory for registered recyclers.
The map below shows available locations to drop off electronics for recycling. Some businesses offer pickup services
for a fee. Please call location for details. Locations marked in GREEN accept televisions.
