Electronics Recycling Drop-off Program
For SWANCC Residents Only
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 computer monitors 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 for no cost to residents.
In addition to Winnetka's drop-off location, three more communities will host weekly drop-offs starting May 1, 2010. Each location will accept items from any SWANCC resident (see member communities).
Winnetka Public Works 1390 Willow Road
Tuesdays: 10 am - 12 pm Thursdays: 1 pm - 3 pm
Please note that only a specific list of acceptable items will be allowed at the drop-off locations. Visit swancc.org for a full list of acceptable items. |
