HUNTLEY – Changes have been made in the State of Illinois as to which electronic items must be recycled and which items can now be thrown away with your household garbage.
There are 17 specific electronic items BANNED from landfills in Illinois and must be recycled. The following items must be recycled and are the only items to be accepted as part of the Village’s electronics recycling event program: Cable Receivers, Computers (desktop, laptop, notebook & tablet), Digital Converter Boxes, Digital Video Disc Players, Digital Video Disc Recorders, Electronic Keyboards, Electronic Mice, Facsimile Machines, Monitors, Portable Digital Music Players, Printers, Satellite Receivers, Scanners, Small Scale Servers, Televisions, Videocassette Recorders, and Video Game Consoles.
All other electronic or electric items may be collected at the curb with your regular household garbage. These items are not banned from the landfill and must now go in the trash. If the item does not fit in your garbage can, they may be placed next to your garbage can and will be considered your bulk item. Waste Management (Sun City residents) allows one (1) bulk item/week. MDC Environmental Services (Residents within the Village limits) has unlimited bulk pickup/week. Please note: Large household appliances/white goods (washing machines, dryers, & refrigerators, etc.) may be collected at the curb when it is pre-arranged with your waste hauler for an additional fee.
