Village of Minier free electronics recycling

[May 08, 2015]  MINIER - Chief Daryl Weseloh of the Minier Police Department announced that the village will be collecting unwanted electronics in cooperation with a program co-sponsored by the Village of Minier and MD Computers in Bloomington. The collection will be held at the Minier Village maintenance building from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturday, May 9th. The building is located at 219 N. Western Ave. in Minier.

Many “E-Waste” items are not permitted in the landfills, and this program will help to alleviate the disposal problem for local residents. This program is free of charge and open to residents and businesses of Minier and surrounding communities.

These are some of the items that will be accepted during the collection: televisions, computers, monitors, keyboards, electronic media, cell phones, cameras, calculators, refrigerators, air conditioners, video gaming systems, small kitchen appliances, microwaves, batteries, appliances that are intact, and computer accessories. No cathode ray tube type televisions will be accepted.

The collection point will be staffed by members of the Minier Police Explorers. This is a free service to the community. Free will donations will be accepted by the explorers for their upcoming Illinois Law Enforcement Explorer Conference this summer in Romeoville, Illinois.

For questions, please contact the Minier Police Department at 309-392-2442.
