The Countywide Residential Electronics Collection (CREC) event this fall will take place on Saturday, October 12, 2024, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Parkland College.

To attend the CREC event, Champaign County residents must register online in advance at https://ecycle.simplybook.me/. The online registration process allows residents to reserve an available 15-minute time slot between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Saturday, October 12. Upon reserving a time, residents will receive confirmation via email and/or text message. Then, 10-14 days before the event, they will receive a postcard in the mail that will serve as their “ticket” into the event.

A list of accepted and non-accepted items can be found on the registration website. There is a four TV limit per household, with a seven-item total limit per household.

Residents who have registered to attend the CREC event will need to use the Duncan Road entrance into Parkland College and then follow the red signs to the drop-off location.

CREC events are co-sponsored by the City of Champaign, City of Urbana, Champaign County, Champaign County Court & Probation Services, and Village of Savoy; with financial support provided from each participating community. The CREC event will go ahead rain or shine. Severe weather will increase wait times but wait time should still be minimal.

Online registration will remain open until all the 15-minute time slots are full. If you would like assistance registering to attend the event, call the City’s Environmental Sustainability Specialist Nichole Millage at 217-403-4780 or email [email protected].
