Electronics recycling event in Lincolnshire July 16

Van Vlissingen and Company in Lincolnshire and the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County are hosting a one day only special electronics recycling collection event for broken and unwanted electronics, from 8 a.m. to noon July 16.

The event will take place in the company's parking lot, 300 Knightsbridge Parkway in Lincolnshire.

Recycling fees will be assessed for televisions and picture tube monitors ($35 for TV's 21" and larger, $25 for TV's 20" or smaller, and $25 for each picture tube monitor). All other acceptable electronics will be collected at no cost.

This one day only special electronics recycling collection event will provide Lake County businesses, schools, nonprofits and units of government the opportunity to drop off limited quantities of electronics - approximately 100 electronic items per guest. Organizations with larger quantities of electronics are asked to contact SWALCO directly to arrange a special pickup. All businesses, schools, nonprofits and units of government must provide a federal tax identification letter or business card in order to drop off items.
