Frequently Asked Questions
What is e-waste and why is it important to recycle it?
E-waste (electronic waste) refers to discarded electronic devices. Electronics contain hazardous materials including lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants that can leach into soil and groundwater in landfills. Illinois law (Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act) prohibits landfilling many electronics and requires manufacturers to fund free recycling programs.
What happens to my old electronics after pickup?
After pickup, your electronics are transported to a qualified processing facility. Usable components are tested and refurbished for reuse. Non-functional equipment is dismantled and separated by material type (metals, plastics, glass) for responsible materials recovery. No materials are knowingly disposed of in landfills.
Do you accept CRT TVs and monitors?
Yes. Chicago Shredder is one of the largest CRT collectors in the Chicago region. We partner with processors who safely extract lead from CRT glass and convert it into tile and other materials, diverting it from hazardous waste streams.
What documentation do I receive after recycling?
Every pickup includes service documentation with your company name, pickup date, and a description of materials recycled. Keep these records with your internal environmental and asset-management files.
Do you recycle in bulk for corporate clients?
Yes. We work with businesses of all sizes, from a single office computer to full data center decommissioning. Large-volume pickups can be scheduled with advance notice. We can also set up recurring pickup schedules for ongoing equipment retirement.
