Useful Technology Resources in Waukegan
For Waukegan companies along Washington Street, Fountain Square, and the harborfront, reliable internet is mission-critical for POS, cloud apps, and hybrid work. Local availability varies by block and building, so confirm service at your address—especially in older industrial spaces near rail spurs or along Grand Avenue. Prioritize providers with fiber or high-capacity coax options, business SLAs, and 24/7 support. Proactive monitoring, static IPs for VPNs, and rapid restoration commitments help keep storefronts, offices, and warehouses online during peak periods and severe weather on Lake Michigan.
A few key providers in the Waukegan area include:
AT&T (Waukegan)
Fiber and high-speed internet options for homes and small offices, plus business plans with static IP and VPN support; check address-level availability across downtown and lakeshore corridors.

Responsible electronics recycling protects customer data and keeps hazardous materials out of Lake Michigan. Waukegan businesses can leverage city-run options and periodic community events for properly handling old desktops, monitors, printers, and accessories. Follow posted rules—curbside pickup isn’t permitted—plan for weekday drop-offs, and consult accepted-items lists before loading fleet vehicles. For higher volumes from offices along Belvidere Road or the industrial zone near McAree Road, schedule staged clean-outs and ensure hard-drive sanitization or destruction is documented.
E-Waste Companies in the Area:
Waukegan Park District – Community Recycling Event
Annual community event with a published list of accepted materials and in-city drop-off at the Park Maintenance Facility; useful for small office purges.
