Free county-wide electronic collection happening on May 21st

Champaign County’s free county wide electronic collection will be on May 21 from 8 a.m to 12 p.m at Parkland College’s M-4 Parking Lot. 

This is an opportunity to recycle old electronics that are not accepted locally such as old TVs, computer components and other electronic devices – even that VCR that’s been collecting dust in the basement for 15 years.

The event is presented by the City of Champaign, the City of Urbana, the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission and the Village of Savoy.

From the City of Champaign:

The next FREE Countywide Residential Electronics Collections will be held on Saturday, May 21, 2016 from 8 a.m. to noon at Parkland College, 2400 W. Bradley Ave., Champaign, Parking Lot M-4.  Residents MUST use the Duncan Road entrance.  This event is coordinated and paid for by City of Champaign, City of Urbana, CCRPC, and the Village of Savoy.

As of February 1, 2016, there are no available local options for residents to recycle CRT (cathode ray tube) TVs (aka tube TVs); therefore, this event is a great no-cost opportunity for residents in Champaign County to get rid of old TVs.  All shapes and sizes will be accepted, working & non-working; however, broken glass cathode ray tube TVs or broken glass cathode ray tube monitors will NOT be accepted.
