Although the recycling industry pipeline has become clogged and we have been forced to temporairly stop taken some things, we traditionally have always recycled all kinds of electronics. - We always said 'if it has a plug or a battery, we take it.' We will return to that plicy as soon as the marketplace stablizes so we can recieve computer systems, televisions and household appliances.
However, we recycle electronics, we don't accept soda cans, common plastic or large appliances like washers, dryers, stoves or refridgerators.
We do reluctantly charge a fee for monitors, televisions and some other expensive to recycle items. The lead and other elements in cathode ray tubes add to the cost of recycling to such an extent that we need subsidize the cost.
NOTE: We currently cannot accept many non-computer items that we used to take. The recycling landscape is changing in Illinois with a new law taking effect January 2010. Please call before bringing in items for recycling to be sure we can accept them. As our in house staff includes many computer experts we will continue to accept these for recycling.
