Using our transparency website, IllinoisOpenGov.org, I found that in 2008, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity paid Vintage Tech Recyclers Inc. a total of $113,270 as part of three separate grants. According to their website, Vintage Tech Recyclers Inc. in Plainfield, Illinois “is an asset recovery and responsible recycling company.” They state that their “main focus is keeping electronics out of landfills and helping companies recover some of their electronic assets in large quantities.”

To find these expenditures on the IllinoisOpenGov site, go to “Checks to Businesses & People” and enter “Vintage Tech Recyclers” in the vendor field.
