Electronics: The township has an accessible drop-off location which is intended to motivate residents to dispose of their used computers and electronics in an environmentally responsible manner.
There will be NO drop off of recycling items during the week. Drop off is located in the township employee
parking lot at 3703 N. Richmond Road. Road District employees will be on hand to assist you on the above dates.
The Road District is again partnering with The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County for our recycling program. Acceptable items now include televisions, miscellaneous electronics, CFL bulbs, fluorescent tubes, VHS/cassette tapes, and CDs/DVDs.
Donations are suggested for particular items are listed below; all proceeds go to the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County to offset the cost of transportation, sorting and certified recycling.
Accepted at no charge:
- computer hard drives
- keyboards & mice
- printers/ink cartridges & scanners
- word processors & calculators

We will provide one semi-trailer every month to haul away most of the electronic recycling except for a few items. Once the trailer is full, the doors will be closed for that date and recycling will resume the next month.
