3S International Hosts Back-To-School Electronics Recycling Drive

E-recycler is collecting pallets of electronics from area schools, businesses, and organizations at their Tinley Park location now through Monday, Sept. 8

TINLEY PARK, IL., Aug. 28, 2014—At its state-of-the-art e-recycling facility in Tinley Park, IL, 3S International is hosting a large-scale back-to-school electronics recycling drive now through Monday, Sept. 8. The electronics processor that provides safe, secure, and sustainable e-recycling solutions is collecting pallets of end-of-life electronics such as laptops, LCDs and flat screens, and computers from schools, businesses, and large organizations for processing.

“We are challenging every university, school, and organization in the greater Chicago area to go through their stores of discarded electronics for processing through our highly advanced e-recycling technology,” said Brittany Bradley, account executive at 3S International. “By hosting an e-recycling drive targeting local schools and businesses, we can help process last year’s technology, make room for new electronic equipment, and make a real and substantial impact in our community.”

3S specializes in recycling hazardous LCD and mercury-containing products on a large scale – while addressing previously unsolvable e-recycling issues. The Tinley Park facility houses the only operating BLUBOX unit in the country, which can reduce end-of-life electronics into recyclable fragments and safely extract the rare earth elements – at a rate of 2,200 pounds per hour and 14 million pounds per year.

3S will pick up pallets of end-of-life electronics within 300 miles from Tinley Park, and also collects electronics dropped off at participating Land of Lincoln Goodwill Industries retail and donation centers. The company is seeking laptops, computers, LCDs and flat screens, and does not accept CRTs or household appliances. Call Bradley at (708) 263-0400 or visit 3Srecycling.com/contact to schedule a pickup (for pallets only) or visit www.llgi.org to find a participating Goodwill location.
