On Electronics Recycling Drop-Off

Been here multiple times for home and small business. So easy and simple to fill out the form and drop-off isn’t DIY, they come out to your car and take care of everything! Always recommended and candidly, better than my local Scavenger.

On Mail-In Recycling

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.

On Electronics Recycling Drop-Off

Great recycling service. Their fees are very fair, and their service is stellar. I’ve gone multiple times over the last 8 years and have always had great, kind, helpful service. I really appreciate this company that does so much good with recyclables that would normally be added to landfill.

The fellows who picked up our items were super nice and did a fantastic and neat job getting everything into one box. They do good work! It was a pleasure dealing with everyone in the office, too.

I would like to thank YOU and your TEAM for picking up the electronic items. This helped us with our “spring cleaning.” Also, your team was great to work with! I will contact you should we have more items to be disposed of. Thank you and have a great day!

Why Recycle Your Old Computers and Electronics?

Recycling your old or broken computers is crucial for both the environment and your business. Electronic equipment, from used computers to outdated technology, contains hazardous materials, like lead, mercury, cadmium, that shouldn’t end up in landfills. By choosing to recycle instead of simply throwing away or discarding your electronics, you help reduce harmful waste and conserve valuable resources.

Many states have enacted electronic waste recycling laws that require manufacturers to offer recycling programs for their products. These laws ensure that consumers have access to convenient recycling options for their used electronics. On the federal level, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees the disposal of electronic waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), setting standards for safe and environmentally sound recycling practices.

At GreenCitizen, we make it easy to dispose of electronics responsibly. Whether you need to get rid of outdated equipment or secure data destruction, we provide safe, efficient, and compliant recycling solutions. Don’t throw out or discard your electronic equipment carelessly—opt for a solution that protects both the planet and your company’s data security.

Choose GreenCitizen as your trusted partner in responsible electronic disposal.
