The Countywide Residential Electronics Collection (CREC) event this spring will take place on Saturday, May 18, 2024, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Parkland College.
To attend the CREC event, residents of participating Champaign County communities must register online in advance at https://ecycle.simplybook.me/. The online registration process allows residents to reserve an available 15-minute time slot between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Saturday, May 18. Upon reserving a time, residents will receive confirmation via email and/or text message. Then, 10-14 days before the event, they will receive a postcard in the mail that will serve as their “ticket” into the event.
CREC participating communities this year are Bondville, Broadlands, Champaign, Fisher, Gifford, Homer, Ivesdale, Longview, Ludlow, Mahomet, Ogden, Pesotum, Rantoul, Royal, Sadorus, Savoy, Sidney, St. Joseph, Thomasboro, Tolono, Urbana, and unincorporated Champaign County.
CREC events are co-sponsored by the City of Champaign, City of Urbana, Champaign County, Champaign County Court & Probation Services, and Village of Savoy; with financial support provided from each participating community. The CREC event will go ahead rain or shine. Severe weather will increase wait times but wait time should still be minimal.
Online registration will remain open until all of the 15-minute time slots are full. There are still plenty of spots available. If you would like assistance registering to attend the event, call 217-403-4780 or email [email protected].
