We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting an electronics recycling collection event on Saturday, September 14, 2019 from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm (or until trucks reach their capacity with the understanding that when the semis are filled we are required to stop accepting items even if it is prior to the noon end time) in parking lot B of Highland Community College…..rain or shine.
This event is open to residents of Stephenson County only. There will be a $20 CASH charge (correct change only accepted) per vehicle and only seven (7) items total are allowed per vehicle. Of those seven items, only the following items can be accepted. If anything else is brought it will not be accepted. This is an IEPA approved event and we must follow their guidelines to be in compliance.
ACCEPTED ITEMS ARE:
- Computers and Small-Scale Servers
- Computer Monitors
- Televisions
- Printers, FAX Machines & Scanners
- DVD Players, DVD Recorders and VCRs

Volunteers are still needed for this event. If interested please call City Hall at 815-235-8200 for further information.
We encourage Stephenson County residents to participate. Recycling conserves our natural resources, eliminates waste in landfills and reduces harm to the environment.
