The Village of Oswego has received a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to start a new permanent electronics recycling facility. Thanks to the help of Vintage Tech Recyclers, on Saturday, August 11, 2007 citizens can start bringing their electronics to be reused, recycled, and kept from being places in landfills. Electronics can contain hazardous material and the proper management of those items is important. In addition, electronics hold valuable materials that are salvageable to be reused.
Computers, monitors, all types of memory sticks, printers, printer cartridges, laptops and laptop accessories, all hard drives, power cables, all networking equipment (hubs, routers, servers, switches, etc.), fax machines, photocopiers, and cell phones will be accepted. Please do your part to keep these items out of the landfills. All data will be swiped from the hard drives and certificates of recycling for proof that all data and software has been removed, and then redistributed, donated, dismantled or recycled can be given by Vintage Tech at a later date. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Lisa Dicke at (630) 554-3622 or ldicke@oswegoil.org.
UPDATE: As of February 8, 2008, the electronics recycling (which started in August of 2007) has recycled 41.63 tons of electronics! Thank you to everyone who has used this service to keep these items out of the landfill.
