DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) — The Macon County Environmental Management Department capped off its 2025 paint and electronic collection season Saturday.

Community members were able to drop off unwanted electronics and paint from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. 

Organizers said the event is a way to make sure those items do not end up somewhere they should not be.

"It is truly amazing, the amount of paint and electronics — TV's especially — that we bring in to this facility," said Environmental Management Department Employee Mike Buckley.

The next collection event will not be held until April of 2026.
