Electronics Recycling in Freeport

An Electronics Recycling Collection will be held on Saturday, September 22 from 9AM to 1PM at Highland Community College Parking Lot "B".  The Electronics Recycling Collection is sponsored by the University of Illinois Extension and the Stephenson County Health Department.  There is NO FEE for this collection and the collection is open to the public.  Items that will be accepted at the collection include:
  •  televisions 
  • CRT and LCD monitors
  • computers
  • laptops
  • printers
  • scanners
  • fax machines
  • copiers
  • VCR's
  • keyboards
  • computer mice
  • DVD players
  • stereos
  • speakers
  • microwaves
  • miscellaneous cables, computer parts and peripherals
  • telephones
  • cell phones
  • PDA's
  • game counsels 
  • handheld electronics (iPods, cd players, Game boys)
Only items on this list will be accepted.  For more information about this event or other recycling opportunities, please call the University of Illinois Extension at 815-235-4125 or visit their website at web.extension.illinois.edu/jsw.

This is a GREAT opportunity - for example, if you were to hire a hauling company - they are charged $35 per TV they take to the transfer station, and would have to pass that cost to you along with the pick-up charge.  This is such a great deal - scour your house and drop your old/broken electronics stuff off at Highland on Sept 22nd!
