Where the Galaxy Note 7 goes to die..

57 W. Marion St, in Joliet is the place to be, if you are getting rid of unused electronics.

Opened on Tuesday, October 25, this was Joliet’s first TV recycling event.

According to The Herald, more than 20 people dropped off TVs, computers and other electronics before the official opening time of 5 p.m.

This new electronics recycling center could have come at a better time, because the old recycling program in Will County was shut down earlier this year after the recycling vendor left the business.

The location of the recycling center is also an added bonus for Will County residents, like Connie Dillon, who said, “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time so I don’t have to drive so far”.

According to county recycling specialist Marta Keane, Joliet was the last site added this year and if everything goes well then the recycling programs will expand next year.

Since 2012, after TVs and electronics was banned from landfills, throwing away your old electronics became a hassle. So this Joliet location and the four other recycling centers (Lockport, New Lenox Township, Romeoville, Peotone) are what the residents of really need.

Residents can throw out up to two TVs and as many electronics as they want.

The Joliet center is open every second and fourth Tuesday of the month from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

There is no fee to come drop off your electronics but you will need to have a form of ID, like your driver’s license to prove that you live in Will County. The Joliet residents that live in Kendall County can use the recycling facilities as well.
