Stonington to end electronics drop‑offs at shop site; residents directed to Taylorville recycler
Summary
Village leaders said electronics left at the shop will no longer be accepted after the shop addition is built; current recycling costs are roughly $350–$400 per semi load and residents of Christian County may continue to use BLH in Taylorville for free.
President Bruce Dowdy told trustees that the long-running electronic recycling drop-off will end when the new shop addition is built because people have been tossing electronics over a fence on weekends. He said the village currently pays about $350–$400 per semi load (12 pallets) to recycle electronics and that the village takes the material to BLH in Taylorville, which accepts electronics free for Christian County residents; the board instructed signage to inform residents of the change.
The minutes do not record a formal vote to end the program; the change is described as an operational adjustment tied to construction of the shop addition. President Dowdy said he would advise residents to contact BLH to coordinate drop-offs if they live outside Christian County and that signage will be posted when the village stops accepting electronics at the shop site.
