AURORA – Kane County Recycles will hosting a recycling event for electronics and books between 8 a.m. and noon Saturday at a new location.

It will be held at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, 1500 Sullivan Road, Aurora. Wait time is likely to be less than 10 minutes for this event, according to a news release from Kane County.

This event is for electronics and books only and will not include document shredding or paint. Electronics collection will include free recycling of computers, laptops, stereos, DVD players, printers, keyboards, mice, phones, electronic games, holiday light strings and more, all of which can be recycled at no charge.

TVs (of any size, and any age) and computer monitors will also be collected, but there is a cost involved. Books are also free to drop off.

The cost for recycling television sets and computer monitors, measured diagonally is $25 for screens under 21 inches and $35 for screens 21 inches and bigger. Cash or debit cards are accepted.

Electronics are collected and recycled by eWorks Electronics Services, a nonprofit whose mission is to employ individuals with developmental disabilities to sort and disassemble the electronic equipment. Your payment for TVs and monitors goes directly to them and helps fund that work.

Books of any age or condition, and both hardcover and paperback, are free to drop off. They are sorted and redistributed by Pacesetter Books, a church-based nonprofit that assesses books for reusability and recycles those that cannot be redistributed.

One can also bring pre-shredded documents to the book recycling area for recycling. The documents are to be in a paper bag that is stapled or taped shut.

Questions can be directed to Kane County Recycling Coordinator Jennifer Jarland, 630-208-3841, recycle@countyofkane.org

The next event will be from 8 a.m. to noon Nov. 9 at Anderson Park, 5N180 Brown Road near Campton Hills. It will also be for electronics and books only.
