Electronic Recycling Now Offered In Manhattan Once A Month

MANHATTAN, IL — For those who need to recycle various electronics, Will County residents can now do so at the Manhattan Township office building every fourth Thursday of the month.

The next event will be held May 28 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the township, 230 Wabash St.

Collections will still take place, even with the stay-at-home order due to the coronavirus. The village said the following precautions must be taken: the participant remains in their vehicle at all times; participant shows ID by holding it to their car window for staff to see; and staff is allowed to remove items without assistance.

There is a limit of two TVs per car, and participants are required to prove they are a Will County resident. Other acceptable items include: computers, printers, cellphones, fax machines, scanners, DVD players, computer cables, portable digital music players and keyboards.

The township drop-off location just opened in March.
