However, the nonprofit Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County has two permanent locations for electronics recycling:

The drop-off sites are closed during holidays and available only to SWANCC's member communities which include Arlington Heights, Barrington, Buffalo Grove, Glenview, Niles, Morton Grove, Park Ridge, Palatine, Skokie, Winnetka and Wilmette.
Aside from the permanent locations, SWANCC will sometimes have electronics recycling events in communities.
