Computer equipment recycling companies in the Chicagoland area?

Question

Does anyone know of a company that can recycle computer equipment at no cost?

Do these companies actually make a profit?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The People's Resource Center in Wheaton takes computers (call first: they have some guidelines) which they wipe clean, load with new programs, and give to people in need, but only AFTER the people take training classes in computer usage which can help them to get jobs.    Great way to recycle, great way to "teach a man to fish."   I've donated, and also gotten a tax receipt.

Answer 2

I live in DuPage county.  United Recycling has free drop off days which they advertise in the newspaper.

United Recycling Industries

1600 Harvester

630-231-6060

See your county and city websites.  Wheaton and Glen Ellyn have periodic free recycle events.
