Above / Naperville’s Recycling Drop-Off Center temporarily will not accept CRT, projection screen and console televisions.
Due to the overwhelming volume of electronics being brought to Naperville’s Recycling Drop-Off Center, the City’s electronics recycling contractor has imposed a temporary hold on accepting CRT televisions, projection screen televisions and console televisions, effective immediately.
The City of Naperville, in partnership with DuPage County, entered into an 18-month contract with New Life Electronics Recycling in January to dispose of all electronics brought to the City’s 180 Fort Hill Drive regional drop-off center. Since that time, more than 629,000 pounds of electronics have been recycled, 45 percent of which are cathode ray tube (or CRT) computer monitors and televisions.
Above / Follow signs with instructions to the entrance of the Recycling Center, located at 180 Fort Hill Drive.
In order for New Life Electronics Recycling to continue providing service at no cost to the City, the company has temporarily placed a hold on accepting CRT televisions, projection screen televisions, and console televisions. While CRT computer monitors and flat screen televisions are still accepted, the City has imposed a limit on these items of one per vehicle.
Additional, fee-based electronics recycling options can be found on the City’s website – www.naperville.il.us/electronicsrecycle.aspx – for those community members who need to properly dispose of CRT televisions, projection screen televisions and console televisions during this temporary hold.
Above / Signs of the times are displayed on the entrance barriers. Note no hours on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
The City of Naperville Recycling Drop-Off Center, located at the northwest corner of the Public Works Service Center at 180 Fort Hill Drive, is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8AM to 4PM. Other accepted items printers/fax machines, cameras, cables, keyboards and mice, VCR and DVD players, video game consoles and more.
