Recycling Extravaganza

On Saturday, April 18, the Alexander Street parking lot at Elmhurst College will become a Recycling Extravaganza, where people can bring a variety of household items that will be recycled, reused, repurposed and kept out of landfills.  The Recycling Extravaganza is free and open to anyone bringing household-generated electronic waste and other items. In addition to an electronics recycler, several nonprofit social service and green-focused organizations will be on hand to accept donations of usable building supplies, clothing, bicycles, carpeting, books, eyeglasses, household items, appliances and much more. A complete list of acceptable items is available when you click on the website link above.  Paper shredding will be available, with a suggested donation of $2 per box or bag to help us offset the cost. Free battery recycling also will be available.
