Other notes
- City lists aluminum, brass, copper, other metals, electronics, TVs and appliances including refrigerant-bearing items. These streams may have different unloading, pricing and preparation requirements; confirm with the operator before loading.
- This listing is the Shiller Street Elgin Recycling facility, not Bluff City Metal Recycling at 980 Bluff City Boulevard or WM transfer station at 1225 Gifford Road. Do not use those neighboring facilities' longer hours here.
- The City of Elgin expressly asks users to call facilities for current hours, rates, minimums, detailed acceptance and PPE requirements. The city listing is the verified source; no unavailable operator price sheet or third-party rating is represented as checked.
- The directory's separate HHW and paint options are other services. General hazardous waste is not established as accepted at this metal/electronics facility. Securely remove personal data from electronics before drop-off.
