Electronics Recycling Collection Event will take place May 19, with online registration opening April 9 at 8 a.m.
When the registration opens on April 9th, you will be able to select one of the available 15-minute time slots between 8am-12pm. Please make sure you register completely; you will receive a confirmation email and/or text after you register. You will then receive a postcard in the mail two weeks before the event (the postcard will serve as your ticket into the event).

At the collection events, there is a 2 TV limit per person/postcard (ALL types, models, & sizes of TV’s are accepted!) & 10-item total limit per postcard. Click here to view the list: Accepted and Non-Accepted Items List
Residents can only register once, but multiple residents from a single residence can register. These events take place at Parkland College, 2400 W. Bradley Ave, Champaign; we ask that residents use the DUNCAN ROAD ENTRANCE & then follow the signs. Car pooling is allowed & encouraged (you can use multiple postcards for one vehicle). ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED removing items from your vehicle; please do not have anything surrounding your electronics that you do not want taken. The events go ahead rain or shine, that includes thunder & lightning. Keep in mind that rain will slow things down, but the wait is still minimal. The weather would have to get very severe before we cancel.
