It is illegal for electronic products to be disposed of in landfills in Illinois.
Thankfully, the Vermilion County Health Department in partnership with Danville Area Community College
and Keep Vermilion County Beautiful hosts electronics collection events two times per year.
The focus of these events is to collect broken or unwanted CRT or flat screen televisions or computer monitors.
Cell phones, charging cables, cable boxes, satellite dishes,
laptops, computer towers, computer peripherals (keyboards and mice),
printers, copiers, scanners, fax machines, DVD players, VCRs, gaming consoles, wires,
cameras, clocks, radios, vacuum cleaners and fans are also accepted.
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency,
recyclers now recover more than 100 million pounds of materials from electronics each year,
some of which can be converted into raw material for new products.
