DuPage County has a number of programs with the goal of diverting more waste from landfills. Today, we are focusing on acceptable items for recycling. Illinois residents are throwing items in their recycling bins that don’t belong. Always remember to keep recyclables loose and leave the plastic bags out! Recyclables must be empty, clean, and dry - do not place dirty items in the recycling container.
