Covid-19 Limited Contact Electronic Recycling Mail-In Procedure
Recently shipped 60 lbs of VHS tapes, cassettes and other items that cannot be recycled anywhere in Illinois or surrounding areas. It cost more to ship than to recycle but I trust the process. Had to call a few times and they’re always helpful and reply promptly to emails.
Great experience with mail-in recycling. Quick response on hard drive destruction too. They emailed the certificate right away. Great way to dispose of electronics.
