On-site traffic flow (NEW Feb. 2026): Please stay to the right when entering and join line if present. The first car in line should pull up and turn left alongside the large cardboard collection containers. This is the unloading area. The attendant will assist each guest with unloading and any fee payments in order of arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Do I need to make an appointment to drop off? ​Only for the LRS-operated site in Elburn. The Fabyan and West Dundee sites are open during the listed hours with no appointment necessary.

Will someone help me unload? Yes - our sites are staffed and the attendant on duty will collect items from customers, including heavy/hard to manage items.

Why is there a fee on TVs and monitors? TV and monitor fees are the only mechanism in the Illinois Consumer Electronics Recycling Act for covering the labor costs associated with collecting and preparing electronics for transport to a recycler. The fee is paid directly to the County's contracted electronics collector, eWorks Electronic Services, Inc., a non-profit that trains and employs people with​ developm​en​tal disabilities. You are helping a good cause and responsibly disposing of your used electronics! 

Where can I recycle TVs and monitors for free? The first place to check is with your town's contracted waste hauler​. Some hauling contracts include disposal of electronics, including​ TVs and monitors, at no additional cost to residents. Sometimes this service is available on demand and sometimes only on certain dates. Try a search engine query with the name of your town and the name of the hauler to see if the hauler has a dedicated service page describing the services offered to your town, as this is often the case, or, give them a call. The second place to check is with your municipal government as cities and towns do sometimes hold free electronic recycling days. If we learn about these events ahead of time, we​ list them under "what's new" on our homepage. 

Why is there a fee on aerosols, propane and butane canisters? These fees are retained by the recycler, Flat Can Recycling​ to cover the costs of can disassembly and safe disposal of any residual material.
