Healthcare and education drive Kankakee's recycling needs
Kankakee County's economy centers on healthcare and higher education. Riverside Health System, with its main campus in Kankakee, and Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais together retire significant volumes of IT equipment, medical devices, and office electronics on a regular schedule. AVA Recycling handles these pickups with HIPAA-compatible chain-of-custody procedures.
"For Kankakee County residents in Kankakee, Bourbonnais, Bradley, and smaller communities, AVA provides scheduled pickup service and access to regional drop-off facilities accessible via Interstate 57. Most household electronics are accepted free of charge."
Illinois law bans computers, monitors, and televisions from landfills under the state's Electronics Recycling Act. For Kankakee County's smaller municipalities and rural areas, where permanent collection infrastructure is limited, AVA's pickup service provides a practical alternative.

AVA's HIPAA-compatible data destruction process serves these accounts.
Olivet Nazarene University, located in Bourbonnais, is one of the county's largest employers. The university's regular classroom and administrative technology refreshes produce volumes of retired Chromebooks, laptops, desktops, and audiovisual equipment.
