Scheduled IT Recycling Events

SSI is very active in Chicago and the surrounding metropolitan area. SSI creates partnerships to collect electronic waste (e-waste)  for recycling. In 2010, the Illinois Electronic Reuse and Recycling Act is taking effect. This legislation requires manufacturers of electronics to pay for residential e-waste to be recycled properly. The legislation also prohibits businesses and consumers from improperly disposing of certain types of e-waste into landfills. For more information please visit the following link.
