 e-waste banned from illinois landfills 1/1/2012 e-waste "the right way" As of January 1, 2012, Illinois law prohibits electronic devices from being collected for disposal in Illinois landfills. Businesses and residents will no longer be able to set out certain electronic components for disposal, and waste haulers will be prohibited from collecting such items for final disposal in a landfill. The Village of Villa Park is coordinating with Roy Strom the Village's, waste hauler, to assist the Village and ensure residents and local businesses have an alternate disposal option. To meet the objective the Village is starting E-Waste "the right way" a program designed to provide a convenient, "no cost", environmentally responsible solution for the community. A registered IEPA collector, recycler and refurbisher of electronic waste will properly process program accepted electronics. The Village's alternative disposal solution, E-Waste "the right way" will accept state landfill banned electronic items, and the additional business office, household, and entertainment electronics noted in the captioned area that are generated by residents and local businesses, at no cost. The Village's "FREE" drop off site for program accepted electronic components (listed) is conveniently located 200 feet west of Village Hall on the north side of Home Avenue.
