Kane County Electronics Recycling & E-Waste Pickup
Certified electronics recycling for Elgin, Aurora, St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, and every Kane County community.
Serving the Fox River Valley from Elgin to Batavia
"Kane County follows the Fox River from Elgin in the north through South Elgin, St. Charles, Geneva, and Batavia to the southern border. This corridor mixes light manufacturing, distribution, and a large residential base, all of which generate electronics that Illinois law prohibits from landfills."
AVA Recycling schedules commercial pickups across the Fox River Valley and accepts residential drop-offs at partner facilities accessible from Route 64 and Interstate 88. Businesses in Elgin and Aurora, Kane County's two largest cities, can schedule recurring pickups for ongoing IT refresh programs.
Kane County's rapid suburban growth over the past two decades means a large stock of aging electronics across both residential and commercial addresses. AVA processes everything from single-monitor drop-offs to full server room decommissions, with certified data destruction available for every device that held sensitive data.

AVA Recycling serves Kane County's Fox River Valley corridor, from Elgin and South Elgin to Aurora, St. Charles, Geneva, and Batavia. Electronics recycling pickups are available for businesses of all sizes, and residents access drop-off facilities within the region. Illinois law bans televisions and computers from landfills, and AVA's certified process meets state and federal standards.
Kane County covers 524 square miles and is home to roughly 550,000 residents across a mix of established cities and fast-growing suburbs. Elgin, the county seat, has a long manufacturing history and a dense stock of older commercial and industrial properties. Aurora, which straddles Kane and DuPage counties, is one of Illinois' largest cities and a logistics hub near the I-88 toll interchange.
"Light manufacturing and distribution operations in Elgin Industrial Park, the Centennial Business Park in West Dundee, and the Aurora area generate regular volumes of retired PLCs, networking equipment, workstations, and servers. AVA schedules large-lot commercial pickups with weight-based or item-count manifests and issues Certificates of Recycling for vendor or corporate compliance files."
"For residential recycling, Kane County households can schedule a pickup or access regional drop-off facilities. Items accepted include televisions, computers and laptops, printers, phones, networking gear, and cables. CRT televisions and monitors carry a processing fee because of the cost of handling leaded glass; most other items are free."
"Schools and government facilities in St. Charles, Geneva, and Batavia frequently refresh classroom and office technology. AVA coordinates with school district IT departments for bulk pickups of retired desktops, Chromebooks, and display equipment. Hard drives are shredded under chain-of-custody procedures, and serialized destruction certificates are issued for every device."
