Fox Lake holiday light recycling

Fox Lake residents can recycle holiday lights in special containers available at the village hall and the police department. Elgin Recycling has partnered with the village to collect and recycle old or broken holiday lights. The recycling containers are accessible outside the front entrance of village hall at 66 Thillen Drive and inside the Fox Lake Police Department’s main entrance at 301 S. Route 59. Acceptable materials include minilights, C7 lights, C9 lights, rope lights, LED lights, and extension cords. All lengths are accepted. Garland, live greens, wreaths or other nonrecyclables are not accepted. For information, visit the village website at foxlake.org or contact village hall at (847) 587-2151.
