Computer Recycling Center, LLC

Our main company Echelon Computers, Inc. was founded in 2001. We were a company that handled off lease equipment. As the company grew the next couple of years, we not only found a market in electronic recycling but had a need to recycle electronics that were no longer useful ourselves. In 2003 we formed a company called Computer Recycling Group, LLC which functioned primarily on a business to business level. As electronic recycling awareness increased in the public sector, we found it necessary to change our name to Computer Recycling Center, LLC to be more inviting to both businesses and home users. That success has lead us to our current location so that we could serve you better. We provide many services that range from off lease equipment to ‘end-of-life’ recycling.Welcome to the Computer Recycling Center, LLC home page. Hopefully you will find the information that you are looking for. As always, if you do not find that information provided, please feel free to contact us at anytime.

Process

Welcome to the Midsized to large Corporations/Organizations recycling page. Hopefully one or more of our existing policies will suit your needs as outlined below. We do realize that not organizations are the created equal. We may be able to customize our process to work around your special needs such as operating around non-peak hours or even after hours. Please feel free to contact one of our service representatives at any time for a one on one consultation.

Drop-Off
Many companies to save time or to avoid pick-up fees elect to drop off their recycled electronics directly at our facility. All we ask is to call ahead to schedule an appointment so that we can process you during your visit as fast as possible. We’d like to make sure that we have an employee available to help guide you through the process as well as help you unload your vehicle. Dropping of items is just that easy!

Pick-Ups
Most midsized to large companies either do not have the time or the resources to bring their items to us. That’s why we have different sized trucks to help co-ordinate delivery of your electronics to us. Just simply contact us to make arrangements and schedule a pick-up time that best suits your needs. We’ll ask the typical questions that will make it easy for you to recycle such as if you have a loading dock, etc… Pick-up fees vary by location of your business and other factors. Those fees many range depending on geographic location, amount of items to be recycled, if those items are pre-palletized or if we need to enter a working environment with a large crew. Again, we can work around your needs! Please contact one of our sales representatives for a price quote. Be sure to ask how that fee may be waived.

• Charges: If you require pick-up service, please contact us. Because each organization does vary in location along with other factors, the fee for pick-up will vary. A short discussion will help us determine your quote.

• Auditing: We offer a few choices of auditing to help you and your organization track the electronic items that were recycled by us. They range from basic documentation to detailed information. Please see below for descriptions and Pricing

• Level one: This level of recycling is basic acceptance of the product.

• Level two: This is our most popular level of auditing and recycling.
• Data Destruction: Any level of auditing may have this service added to it. The fee for data destruction is $10.00 per drive.

Home Electronics Recycling Program

The task of providing the community service of consumer electronic recycling has become no longer sustainable under the guidelines and laws provided by the State of Illinois. While we attempted to stay the course and in an effort to provide a community service over the ability to sustain a business, the liability and cost has exceeded our ability to continue such efforts. With regret, Computer Recycling Center, LLC will be suspending our consumer collection program until such time that either Illinois legislation becomes modified or other unspecified parameters change. At the time of our update, we recommend the following sources to aid you in your efforts in properly recycling your home electronics: 

Excluded items: 

• Most White appliances
• Biohazard or Medical Waste Products
• Rubber based items (tires, conveyor belts, etc…)
• Strictly Regulated items (Paint booths, firearms, etc…)
