Electronics Recycling

Since 1999, SWANCC has provided environmentally-responsible recycling for end-of-life computers and electronics.

Starting January 1, 2012, the Electronics Products Recycling and Reuse Act (SB2313) bans televisions and computer monitors from going into Illinois landfills.

Under the new legislation, only the materials listed to the right will be accepted in SWANCC's three recycling program options. For a list of recycling options for items not taken in the program such as microwaves, home appliances, dehumidifiers, humidifiers and air conditioners, visit SWANCC’s Green Pages directory.

Do not bring household hazardous waste or other unlisted items. Do not drop off electronics other than during the posted dates and times. Thank you for your cooperation!

Supply-Chain Services, Inc. (SSI) contracts with SWANCC to responsibly recycle electronics. Watch this video for information that shows how your electronics' hard drives are erased, demanufactured and processed.

Permanent Drop-Off Locations

The following communities will host permanent electronics locations for residents who live in a member community. Collection locations will be closed on national holidays.

Do not drop off electronics other than during posted dates and times. Thank you for your cooperation.

Additionally, this spring, summer and fall, SWANCC is coordinating 14 one-day events for more recycling options. Materials from businesses, schools or institutions will not be accepted.
