Residents of Homer Glen can recycle of any type of electronic through the e-waste recycling program. Electronic disposal is easy! Current residential customers can schedule a pick up on this page by clicking the blue button. When we have your details and the requested pick up is complete, simply place unwanted electronics curbside near your trash containers. The Homewood team assures safe, eco-friendly pick up and disposal for your electronic waste. Electronics that are placed curbside without scheduling with Homewood Disposal first will not be removed.
Why Can’t I Dispose of My Electronics Curbside?
In 2012, the state of Illinois imposed the Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act that banned many electronics from landfills as these products contain hazardous material. According to the ELPC, “These products [electronics] contain toxic materials such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium and beryllium.” Incorrectly disposing toxic materials causes chemicals to contaminate the environment. As a result, the toxins contaminate our food, water, and other natural resources.
