Electronics Recycling    

Thank you for your support!  It was a very successful event!

Held THURSDAY, APRIL 19th

Northern Illinois University Convocation Center

Habitat for Humanity of Illinois teamed up with a Northern Illinois University student project team and Vintage Tech Recyclers to host an electronics recycling day in DeKalb. Over 500 vehicles dropped off e-materials, which was unloaded by a large team of volunteers. We filled and hauled away 3.25 semi trailers with old electronics!

For every pound of e-waste that was collected, Vintage Tech donated money to help build Habitat for Humanity homes. Electronics recycling diverts thousands of pounds of useable materials from landfills, while raising money to build affordable housing in partnership with low-income families throughout Illinois.

Our Mission

Habitat for Humanity of Illinois' purpose is to support and partner with the Illinois Habitat for Humanity Affiliates and ReStores, expanding their capacity through communication, advocacy, resource development, and education in order to serve more families in need of safe, decent, affordable housing.

Habitat for Humanity of Illinois is a non-profit housing organization dedicated to eradicating poverty housing. Founded in 1999, the organization works statewide in association with the 51 Habitat affiliates, which collectively build or repair about 100 houses annually, and the 17 Habitat ReStores, which are similar to home improvement stores. From 1983 through 2011, 1,731 Habitat homes have been constructed or rehabbed in Illinois.

Based in Oswego, Habitat Illinois is the State Support Organization, established with the purpose of strengthening Illinois affiliates, advocating for affordable housing, and securing resources – both financial and material – that would not otherwise be available to individual affiliates.
