Electronics Collection
Electronics are made from valuable resources such as precious metals, copper and engineered plastics, all of which require considerable energy to process and manufacture. Recycling electronics recovers these valuable materials. As a result, we reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce pollution, save energy and save resources by extracting fewer raw materials from the earth.
We are accepting electronics "E" scrap. We provide a drop-off site at no charge located at 27W966 Commercial Avenue in Lake Barrington, IL. Call our office to arrange pick-up rate information.
