In September 2009, Illinois became the 16th state to adopt an electronics recycling law known as the Electronics Products Recycling and Reuse Act (SB2313). This legislation bans certain electronic items, mainly computers and televisions, from Illinois landfills starting in January 2012.
To assist residents with collecting old electronics and to ensure environmentally-safe recycling of these materials, SWANCC has developed the Electronics Recycling Drop-off Program to collect electronics on an ongoing basis.
Each location will accept items from all SWANCC residents. Please note that only the acceptable items listed to the left will be allowed at the drop-off locations.
