Our facility in Roaring Fork Valley is not open to the public quite yet. But Aspen Times let area residents know how Blue Star has been serving the area for a while and how we intend to create more jobs thanks to support from local Rotary Clubs. Read the story.

After almost a year of collaborative work between Blue Star Recyclers and Rotary District 6440 clubs, today we launched a new service called EZ Electronics Recycling, which provides at home pick up service for residents. Now Chicago NW suburban residents can receive Blue Star's certified electronics recycling service at their doorstep.

Seven Rotary clubs donated funds to help Blue Star purchase a new van to launch the service, including Glenview Sunrise, Dundee, Buffalo Grove, Barrington Breakfast, Lake Zurich, Libertyville, and Long Grove/Kildeer/Hawthorn Woods.

Special thank go to Suzanne Lyhus with the Glenview Sunrise Rotary Club, who was instrumental in coordinating Rotary's involvement in the project. We also wish to thank current Rotary District 6440 Governor Suzanne Gibson and incoming District 6440 Governor Lyle Staub, who actively supported the project within their districts and respective clubs.
