As technology advances at lightning speed, many individuals and businesses in Illinois find themselves with outdated electronics piling up. While some devices get discarded or forgotten in storage, others could be making a real impact supporting schools, nonprofits, and underserved communities across the state.
At Recycle Agent, based right here in Illinois, we’re proud to lead the charge in sustainable electronic recycling and reuse. By turning e-waste into opportunity, we help reduce landfill waste, protect the environment, and provide access to critical technology for those who need it most.
Local Action With Real Impact
Recently, the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) set a great example by donating a refurbished laptop to the Swedish Women’s Educational Association International (SWEA) Toronto, helping them enhance their community efforts through better technology. That same mission drives us at Recycle Agent—but our focus is right here at home.
In Illinois, thousands of nonprofits, schools, and community programs are in need of functional electronics. A single laptop or tablet can help a student succeed in school, empower a local nonprofit to manage operations, or help a job-seeker access online training.
