Television Recycling for Chicago Businesses
Businesses in the Chicago area can arrange television recycling for office, conference room, and facility equipment turnover.
This includes:
Retired CRT televisions containing lead and cadmium
LCD, LED, plasma, and other flat-screen televisions
Larger volumes of televisions from office or facility upgrades
Illinois law requires businesses to recycle electronics, including televisions, rather than dispose of them with regular waste, making a documented recycling partner relevant for both compliance and sustainability.
To arrange service, businesses can request a quote or schedule a commercial pickup.
Television Recycling for Chicago Residents
Recycle Technologies does not offer residential pickup or a drop-off facility in Chicago. Chicago residents and small-volume customers can use the Mail-In Recycling Program for eligible televisions by ordering a recycling kit, packing the television according to the program's requirements, and shipping it to Recycle Technologies for processing.
How Television Recycling Works
Commercial Pickup
Chicago businesses schedule a commercial pickup for retired televisions. Collected items are transported to Recycle Technologies' processing facilities outside Chicago.
When items are collected, a hazard consignment note may be issued, documenting who collected the items, where they were collected from, how many were collected, and where they are being taken.
Transport and Dismantling
Collected televisions are brought to Recycle Technologies' facilities in Minnesota or Wisconsin, where they are broken down into their base components, including plastic housing, wiring, circuit boards, metals, and glass.
Separation of Hazardous Materials and Recovery
CRT televisions require particular attention due to the lead and cadmium in the tube, and newer televisions with mercury-containing glass components are handled separately from standard materials.
Metals, plastics, and other recoverable materials are processed for reuse rather than sent to a landfill.
Documentation
Recycle Technologies provides recycling documentation as part of its certified process, supporting businesses that need records for compliance or internal reporting.
