Business Electronics Recycling
Business Concierge Program for Commercial Electronics Recycling
The Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) provides opportunities for residents to recycle their broken or unwanted electronics through an extensive network of drop off locations operating throughout Lake County, but these electronics drop off locations can only accept residentially generated electronics. SWALCO recognized a need to offer electronics recycling opportunities to Lake County businesses, institutions and schools.
To address this need SWALCO has partnered with eWorks Electronics Services Inc., to provide this service through a program called the Business Concierge Program.

eWorks was established in 2009 to meet its primary mission to teach, support and advocate for individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities to make life choices, exercise independence and develop responsibility to become productive members of the community. eWorks achieves this mission by providing competitive recycling, refurbishment and resale services of office technologies and consumer electronics; basically “if it plugs into a wall we’ll take it”. This includes items such as computers, tablets, servers, monitors and LCD’s, scanners, copiers and network equipment, power supplies, TVs, stereos, cell phones and household appliances.
Today the eWorks program provides electronics recycling and refurbishment services for local communities and for large global corporations across the US. eWorks also serves as the back office-processing center for several other national recyclers. Our process uses the highest industry standards in safety and security, as well as providing “green tech” jobs for the disabled.
