Residential Electronics Collection Event – Fall Wrap-up
The fall Residential Electronics Collection Event was held on Friday, October 9 and Saturday, October 10, 2020 at Parkland College. The event is co-sponsored by City of Champaign, City of Urbana, Village of Savoy, and Champaign County. Out of the 2,118 that pre-registered via our online registration system, approximately 1,780 registrants participated.
Registrants could bring a total of seven electronic items, with a four TV limit. A total of 192,700 pounds (96.35 tons) of unwanted electronic items were collected at the fall event. TVs collected represented 72 percent of the total electronics collected.
These collection events are a no-cost opportunity for residents to get rid of unwanted TVs of all shapes and sizes. There are local year-round recycling options for most other electronics and certain types/sizes of TVs. Visit the City’s recycling webpage for more information: champaignil.gov/recycling.
