Today is the day -- December 8th,-- the Environmental
Defenders of McHenry County will conduct a recycling collection for fluorescent
tubes, Styrofoam™, electronics, and batteries from 9 a.m. until noon at the
Farm Bureau parking lot, 1102 McConnell Road, in Woodstock. They continue to
collect certain items which are not usually accepted by curbside programs, and
which would be harmful to the environment if put in a landfill.
The Defenders’ Recycling Drive accepts household
batteries, car batteries, lithium and button batteries. The Defenders also
collect fluorescent tubes, clean Styrofoam™, VHS & Cassette tapes, CDs,
DVDs, packing peanuts and re-usable, unpopped bubble wrap. A donation is
requested for fluorescent bulbs and batteries that are brought in to offset the
costs involved in processing these items.
Electronics, such as computers, phones, printers,
clean microwaves, and electronic toys, are accepted. TVs and computer monitors
will be accepted for a donation of $10-$35.
