Don’t know what to do with that
television that no longer works?
Or, that bag of packing peanuts, or
bubble wrap?
What to do with those batteries that
no longer power the devices in which they were used?
McHenry County Department of Health
(MCDH) has partnered with several businesses and community organizations to
collect and recycle electronic waste and other recyclable materials at no cost
to residents. Residents can drop off items on Saturday, May 19, from
8am-1pm, at McHenry County Government Center (Administration Building), 667
Ware Road, Woodstock.
This recycling event was made possible by AMS Store
and Shred, Battery Solutions, Ken Santowski with Chicago Logistics Service,
Chicago Textile Recycling, Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, Home of
the Sparrow, McHenry County Community Foundation and Sims Recycling
Solutions.

residential electronics (e.g. televisions, computers, VCRs, video game consoles,
digital cameras); clothing (should be clean; slightly stained or torn also
accepted); Styrofoam, packing peanuts, bubble wrap; alkaline batteries (AA,
AAA, C, D, 9-volt only) and rechargeable batteries, as well as documents for
