Electronic Recycling

As of January 1, 2012, residents in the State of Illinois are prohibited from disposing of electronic devices in a manner that will result in the device being placed in a landfill. However, many recycling/reusing programs are available to consumers to assist them in discarding their unwanted electronics.

Waste Management is now providing an "At Your Door" collection service for these household special materials to Sycamore residents. Through this program, you can schedule a collection of these materials right from your home. This service is available to anyone who receives garbage services through the City of Sycamore. See more information on how to schedule a pickup (PDF).

  • Televisions
