Recycle your e-scrap

From a Peoria County press release:

Recycling For Illinois is partnering with Peoria County Recycling and Sam’s Club of Peoria to accept any working, non-working or unwanted electronic waste (e-scrap) and major appliances on Saturday, November 17 from 9am to noon in the Sam’s Club parking lot, 4100 Willow Knolls Drive. Residents and businesses may bring: computers and computer-related items; entertainment components such as radios, stereos, VCRs and DVD players; cellular phones; televisions; and small and major household appliances. Some items will be accepted with a disposal fee because they contain toxic materials. Those items that will be charged a fee are: $5 for computer monitors; $5 for major appliances; $15 for televisions smaller than 19″; and $20-$25 for TVs larger than 20″ including consoles. This collection and all recycling efforts help divert waste from your local landfill.

Electronic items and appliances can also be delivered directly to Recycling for Illinois’ warehouse located at 401 NE Rock Island in Peoria (except day of event). Store hours are 10am to 6pm Monday-Friday and 10 am to 2pm on Saturday. Patrons can visit their showroom to purchase used or reconditioned items for a fraction of regular retail cost. For more information on this environmentally beneficial event, please call Recycling For Illinois at (309) 682-3209.

  1. Peoria needs a new outlet to take paint. Born is no longer taking waste paint.

    We also need an outlet to recycle all types of batteries.
