Disposal rules in Illinois

Illinois has no statewide mattress recycling program. Statewide programs currently operate only in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island, so mattress disposal here goes through your hauler or local facility.

Illinois has a statewide electronics recycling law. Check local rules before putting TVs, computers or monitors out with regular junk, and expect haulers to handle them separately.
