This free collection event is open to all Illinois residents and is for personal residential household hazardous waste only. No business, farm, industrial or municipal waste will be accepted. All appointments are full! Please do not attend if you do not have an appointment scheduled.
ALL APPOINTMENTS ARE FULL AND ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR THIS EVENT!
