Pop-Up Electronics Collection on Saturday, January 5
Macon County Environmental Management is counting on the favorable weather forecast for Saturday, January 5, 2019 by scheduling a Pop-up Electronics Recycling Collection for those who register for an appointment. Unwanted electronics, such as TVs, entertainment devices and computer equipment, will be collected during the event. Most electronic items will be accepted free except for TVs/monitors at $10 each. Residents may register for an appointment on-line at www.MaconGreen.com or by calling the Macon County Environmental Management Department at 217-425-4505. The collection event will be held in the parking lot of the Macon County Environmental Management Recycling Center at 1750 N. 21st St., Decatur.
Select consumer entertainment and home office electronic items will be accepted from each confirmed registrant, including: televisions/monitors (limit of 3 with pre-payment of $10 each), computers, laptops, printers, control boxes, media players, game consoles, cables and controllers.
Since the collection is outdoors in the midst of winter, Macon County Environmental Management scheduled the event in a pop-up fashion, counting on the day’s suitable weather forecast. The collection provides residents with an opportunity for recycling electronic devices that are banned from landfills per Illinois regulations. The department expects to schedule other Pop-Up Electronics Recycling Collections during the winter months and then return to scheduling events with a longer registration period.
