Other notes
- County participating list: Kankakee, Aroma Park, Bourbonnais, Bradley, Herscher, Hopkins Park, Grant Park, Manteno, Sammons Point, St. Anne and the county-spelled "Sunday River Terrace." Confirm eligibility for Sun River Terrace rather than silently changing the official wording.
- Accepted examples: computers, monitors, TVs, printers, fax machines, DVD players/recorders, VCRs, game consoles, converter boxes, cable/satellite receivers, keyboards, mice, small-scale servers and qualifying portable digital music players.
- Not accepted in this e-waste program: air conditioners, refrigerators, ice makers, compressors, dishwashers, microwaves, VHS tapes, film/slides/negatives or software.
- County says Belson staff unloads the electronics from the vehicle. Ask before bringing damaged devices or unusual quantities.
- The municipal Belson listing establishes the actual receiving street address. County administration at 189 E. Court Street is not the e-waste receiving site. No scrap-metal buyback rate or general-trash service is claimed.
