Local Services

In partnership with Earth 911, a simple input of your zip code will provide a wide range of local services, where to find them and what they offer. Find services such as recycling and reuse centers, household hazardous waste collection sites, electronics recycling, used oil recycling, paint recycling and disposal, battery recycling, and used tire collections. Please report inaccuracies by selecting the "Submit Corrections" button on the location pages. 

In 2025, the Illinois EPA also established a partnership with Recycle Coach, a free app for mobile phones. Use of the program will decrease inbound contamination at material recovery facilities in Illinois, increase the amount of material diverted from Illinois landfills, prevent environmental contamination, and ultimately reduce emissions that contribute to climate change. Read the press release here
