From the 850-plus cars that came through the electronics collection point on Saturday, April 9, at the Shirk Center, 50,524 pounds of materials were collected. This is more than double the 23,779 pounds collected at the first electronics recycling event last November.

Sims Recycling has agreed to do a collection again next year on Saturday, April 14, 2012, when the 2012 Illinois Sustainable Living and Wellness Expo is planned. GREENetwork hopes to expand the collection to include small appliances, with cooperation from Morris Tick.
