Illinois landfill ban

As of January 1, 2012, Illinois law prohibits the disposal of electronic devices in landfills. Businesses and residents must use a registered electronics collector. Our events are the easy, compliant option.

TV recycling

Older CRT televisions and modern flat-screens contain lead and mercury. We handle both safely, with fee coupons for the more processing-heavy items.

Coupon system at public events

For items that carry processing fees, we use a streamlined coupon system to keep wait times minimal and pricing transparent on-site.
