Last month I mentioned that I'd found, on line, a location in the City of Chicago where, it seemed, residents could drop off ecycling -- old computer components, VCRs, and other electronics.
The ecycling facility was supposed to be at 1150 N. North Branch Street (two blocks east of the Kennedy Expressway at Division Street).
But I hadn't gone. I couldn't vouch for it. The posted hours are limited:
- Tuesday (7:00 am - 12:00 pm)
- Thursday (2:00 pm- 7:00 pm)
- The first Saturday of every month (8:00 am - 3:00 pm)
I can now vouch for the place. It's there.
They took my stuff.
They didn't charge me.
That's a good thing.
I did learn that the facility can not accept stuff from a business. This strikes me as strange. It seems to me that the City can make money from ecycling electronics. Why should it matter whether the printer was in an office or in someone's den at home? (Whether a lawyer can drop off an old computer containing client information is something that will have to be addressed in a separate post.)
Anyway, here is a list of what the Chicago facility will and will not take:
