Host an Electronics Recycling Drive
We bring trucks, bins, and crew based on agreed event scope. You provide the community; contact AVA to confirm logistics.
Schools, businesses, churches, and community groups
"Electronics recycling drives are one of the most effective ways to collect e-waste from a community or membership group. AVA Recycling provides the logistics, processing, and documentation. You provide the date, the location, and the promotion to your audience."
"Past hosts have included Illinois school districts, faith communities, homeowner associations, large employers hosting employee events, retailers partnering with local governments, and municipalities providing supplemental collection between scheduled township events."
"Ask whether an event-specific tonnage and material-category report is available for grant applications, sustainability reporting, or community communications. Illinois E-Cycle program partners can use this documentation for state program participation records."

How a recycling drive works with AVA
"AVA Recycling can discuss a one-day electronics collection at a parking lot, loading dock, or community space. Event date, equipment, staffing, and accepted items depend on project scope. Everything collected is processed in line with applicable Illinois EPA guidance. Ask whether a post-event tonnage report is available for the agreed event."
Planning a recycling drive starts with a conversation about your expected volume, site layout, and target audience. AVA's event team will help you size the equipment, prepare an accepted-items list for your promotion materials, and coordinate logistics for the event day.
"For an event included in the agreed scope, AVA can coordinate trucks, covered bins, and crew support. Residents or employees may hand off electronics at a drive-up or walk-in collection area. Event duration, loading, documentation, and transport arrangements are confirmed during planning."
"Accepted items at most drives include computers and laptops, monitors (LCD/LED and CRT), televisions (CRT fees may apply), printers and copiers, phones and tablets, networking equipment, and cables. An accepted-items list specific to your event is prepared in advance so participants know what to bring."
"Ask whether an event-specific report can include total weight collected and material categories. Available records depend on project scope and may be used for municipality program files, school district sustainability reports, nonprofit grant applications, or corporate reporting."
"Fees vary by event size, location, and the mix of materials collected. Events with high volumes of valuable electronics may qualify for a no-cost or revenue-sharing arrangement. Contact our team for an estimate based on your specific event parameters."
