Protect Yourself and Protect the Environment

Now Mervis accepts household electronics for recycling at three convenient locations in Central Illinois. We offer this valuable service to the community at no charge.

To find out which materials to drop off at any of our recycling locations, please visit:

• "What we don't buy" for a complete list of materials that we do not accept for recycling and
• the following pages where all materials listed are accepted for recycling: "Non-ferrous (iron-free) materials", "Ferrous materials" and "Plastics".

Recycling your electronics diverts harmful chemicals from landfills, which keeps our environment cleaner, and allows many materials to be reused, which conserves resources including energy. Our eco-friendly approach means recycled materials can be used to manufacture a wide range of new products.

Community electronics recycling events are usually very well attended, but can be inconvenient because they only occur occasionally. People can accumulate a closet full of devices waiting for the right day when they can get to an electronics recycling event near where they live.

We don't just recycle - we recycle the right way! We meet the highest industry standards to insure responsible recycling of electronic scrap materials.

Electronics can be recycled Monday through Friday at all three locations and Saturday morning at Advantage Recycling in Danville.
