Reycle your electronics on Saturday in Kane County
Submitted by Sims Recycling
Sims Recycling Solutions will host a free electronics recycling event with Kane County to encourage the community to recycle their electronics. All items brought for recycling will be safely and responsibly recycled by Sims Recycling Solutions. The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 14, at the Kane County Circuit Clerk Building, 540 S. Randall Road, St. Charles.
“This community electronics collection event in celebration of Earth Day gives every resident of Kane County the opportunity to be a good environmental steward through the simple act of recycling an old device. Proper recycling of e-waste keeps thousands of pounds of waste out of landfills, keeps toxic substances out of soil and water, and conserves limited natural resources,” said Steve Skurnac, president of Sims Recycling Solutions, Americas. “For individuals who may be hesitant to dispose of their unwanted gadgets because of privacy or ecological concerns, this event gives everyone access to convenient, free and responsible electronics recycling that protects their personal data and the environment.”
This e-waste collection event will be set up as a drive-through and drop-off event. Staff will be on hand to conveniently and quickly collect items from community members’ vehicles. Visit us.simsrecycling.com/news-and-resources/events for more information.
