A local note for Northbrook
Illinois bans televisions, computers, monitors, printers and similar devices from the trash and from landfills, as the Illinois EPA explains. We keep electronics apart from the rest of the load and deliver them to e-waste recyclers and collection sites. If you can lift and drive the items yourself, the Village of Northbrook also runs a resident drop-off at the Fleet Garage behind Village Hall, 1227 Cedar Lane, on the first Tuesday and first Saturday of each month. Details are on the Village recycling page.
