The Illinois Tollway is hosting Electronics Recycling Collection locations to mark the celebration of Earth Day 2018.
The Electronics Recycling Collection is free of charge and Tollway customers are invited to drop off items at six Tollway oases pavilions and at the Tollway’s Downers Grove headquarters on Monday, April 23, from 8 a.m. to noon or until the trucks are full.
The Tollway is partnering with eWorks Electronic Services based in Elk Grove Village, a not-for-profit that supports workers with developmental disabilities.
