Electronics Recycling in Chicago: FAQ
Is electronics recycling free in Chicago, IL?
Computers, phones, and small electronics are often free to drop off. TVs and CRT monitors frequently carry a fee because the glass and plastic cost money to process. Check the listing for fees.
Should I wipe my devices first?
Yes. Back up and factory-reset phones, tablets, and computers before drop-off. Some recyclers offer certified data destruction for hard drives, which the listing will mention.
Can I put electronics in my curbside bin?
No. Electronics contain batteries and metals that cause fires and contamination in curbside sorting, and many states ban them from the trash.
