The event provides two convenient options for participation. A drop-off event will be offered from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 30, in the parking lot of the Libertyville Sunset Foods, 1451 Peterson Road.

The second option, which is available to Libertyville residents, is to schedule an at-home pickup for large or heavy items only the week of May 2 at EZelectronicsrecycling.com.
