E-Recycling

Not sure what to do with your dead laptop? Bring it to us. Working or not.

We'll Take It off Your Hands

Old electronics waiting to be sorted

Have an old PC just taking up space? Huge old CRT TV you don't want to pay someone to haul away? Bring them to us.

We accept electronics of all kinds: phones, tablets, laptops, PCs, game systems, projectors, stereos, VCRs, cameras, whatever. Working or not.

[TBD: anything you don't accept, or accept only with a charge -- for example large appliances, loose batteries, damaged lithium batteries, smoke detectors. Leave this out if the answer is "nothing".]

What It Costs

[TBD: confirm drop-off is free. The live site implies it ("don't want to pay to have someone take off your hands?") and the earlier redesign called it "Free drop-off".]

Why We Do This

Old electronics are genuinely awkward to get rid of. CRTs in particular contain leaded glass, so most places either refuse them outright or charge you for the privilege, which is exactly why so many of them end up in a ditch or behind a shed for fifteen years.

We'd rather have them. Some of it gets repaired and finds a second owner. Some of it becomes parts that keep another machine alive. Some of it is genuinely interesting and ends up in the museum. The rest gets disposed of properly instead of badly.

[TBD: confirm this is what happens to what's dropped off, and name the recycler if one takes the rest.]

Before You Bring a Computer or Phone

If the device still works and has your data on it, you're welcome to wipe it first, and if you'd like a hand doing that, ask, because it's worth doing properly. If it doesn't power on, tell us, and we'll deal with the drive appropriately.

[TBD: what you do with storage drives that arrive un-wiped -- wipe them, physically destroy them, or offer to hand them back?]

Anything with a Plug or a Battery

Give us a call before you load the car, just so someone's here to help you carry it in.

By appointment. Call 618-228-2235, email scott@duensing.digital, or use the contact form. The address is 302 W Washington St, Freeburg, IL 62243.
