ELECTRONICS NOW BANNED FROM PICKUP
 
As of Jan. 1, 2012, electronic items such as cell phones, televisions, DVD players and the like can no longer be sent to landfills in Illinois. This means that if you put one of these at the curb for garbage pickup, or include any in your trash, the driver will not be able to take it. Do not put it into your recycling bin -- it must be discarded separately. If you have something that still works, please consider donating it to a charity. Otherwise, you must take the items back to a store where they are sold, or to an approved collection spot such as Kane County’s monthly electronics recycling events. There is no charge for this recycling service. For a complete list of prohibited electronic devices, click here. For information about Kane County’s electronics and book recycling program, click on http://www.countyofkane.org/pages/recycling/default.aspx

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

Waste Management recognizes only six holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day (Fourth of July), Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas . 

If your regular pick-up day falls on one of these holidays, your trash service will be delayed one day. 

If the holiday falls on a Saturday, then there is no change in service.  If the holiday falls on a Sunday, it is observed on the Monday. If you normally have a Monday pick-up, then your trash will be collected on Tuesday.

If you have any questions, please call Waste Management at 800-796-9696.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR RECYCLING?

Have you ever wondered what happens to your recycling once the truck picks it up? Here is a link to a Waste Management website that includes a video showing the sorting process:

Go to www.thinkgreen.com  and enter "recycling facility" into the small search box at the top right. That will take you to another screen called "What Happens to My Recyclables?" Take a look at the video on Single Stream Recycling, and you’ll see what happens at a sorting facility similar to the one that processes the recycling that is collected from Campton Township.

 

DID YOU KNOW?

You can recycle used household batteries (C, D, AA, AAA , 9V) by securing them in a small ziptop bag and putting it out on your regular collection day on top of your recycling bin. Do not discard them inside the bin.

Your recycling bin needs a clearance of 3 feet all around in order for the automated truck to collect and empty it. Please be sure it's well away from your mailbox, your garbage bins, and other objects that might get in the way of the truck's collection arm.
