Prospect Heights hosts recycling event June 11

Prospect Heights will host a Document Destruction and Electronics Recycling Event from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 11, at the Metra Lot, 101 S. Wolf Road.

There is no cost to participate, but residents must live in a Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) member community. IDs will be checked for proof of residency, and no materials will be accepted from businesses or schools. Residents need only pull up in their vehicles and workers will unload the paper documents and electronics.

Typical documents to shred include medical forms, bank statements, personal files and retired tax forms. Staples and paper clips are acceptable, but binders should be removed. Residents will be limited to six file-size boxes or paper shopping bags per vehicle. Do not bring paper in plastic bags.

Electronics that will be accepted include answering machines, cable receivers, calculators, camcorders, cameras, CD and DVD players, computers and monitors, copy and fax machines, telephones, small home appliances, power tools, printers, televisions and video game consoles.

Dehumidifiers, air conditioners, refrigerators and other large home appliances will not be accepted.
