News & Announcements, June 2022:
Annual Extravaganza Coming Up
Our Extravaganza event for hard-to-recycle materials is coming soon - July 9th to be exact! We've added details about accepted materials and a site map to our
events website
. Check it out and make sure you pack your materials in the right order!

We will hold our pop-up on Saturday on the holiday weekend but will be closed on July 9th because our vendor will be at the Extravaganza!

Agricultural Pesticide Container Recycling:
Illinois Dept. of Agriculture and CHS Inc. are working together to offer farmers free recycling of pesticide containers on Weds, August 3rd from 1-3pm
at
CHS in Maple Park (2 N. 374 Meredith Road)
. Please see the container preparation
instructions linked here
, as improperly prepared containers may not be accepted.
All about Wish-Cycling:
There are several new resources out about "wish-cycling." Wish-cycling is when people put items that can't be recycled into recycling bins. Kane County's new resources include a
new flier (2 pages)
and a slightly
longer guide (6 pages)
. Also, the IL Task Force for Recycling Contamination Solutions, in which Kane Co. participates, recently put out a two-minute PSA on wish-cycling.

Battery, bulbs & sharps page updates
We get a lot of calls about how to recycle batteries and light bulbs and it can be confusing because there are so many different types these days and it isn't always easy to tell them apart. Sharps pose another issue for home users who rely on them to deliver medicine. To provide the best info possible we overhauled
our battery page
,
light bulbs page
, and
sharps disposal page
. Check out the handy
batteries and bulbs interactive map
