Upcoming Countywide Residential Electronics Collection - May 8
The next opportunity for areawide residents to drop off old or unwanted electronics items for recycling, at no charge, will be on Saturday May 8, 2010. The residential electronics collection will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at The News-Gazette Distribution Center located at 3202 Apollo Drive in Champaign.
The Countywide Residential Electronics Collections are organized to allow residents in vehicles to drop off unwanted electronics items in a safe and relatively quick manner. Teams of volunteers and workers unload vehicles that line up to be emptied at four or five drop off stations in a ‘pit row’ style. Approximately 75 persons will be volunteering or working onsite to unload each vehicle and keep the line of vehicles moving as safely and efficiently as possible.
Residents each can bring up to 10 electronics items to the event.
List of Acceptable Electronics Items To Be Collected From Residents For Free:
In 2008, Illinois passed legislation that set statewide recycling and reuse goals to be met by electronics manufacturers for all covered electronics devices. (Refer to Illinois Public Act 95-0959, known as the Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act)
Data Security Vintage Tech Recycling, Inc., recycling contractor for the electronics collection events, will meet or exceed the data security requirements and standards as set forth in the Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act, utilizing data wiping software and/or hardware shredding processes.
