SWALCO has put together some information to help meet your
recycling needs and answer questions for Lake County residents. Most municipalities contract with a single company to provide recycling and waste collection services, however, some residents and businesses must choose their own service provider. For more information about establishing service, adding or replacing collection containers and billing matters, contact your local service provider or city/village officials.
People who live in apartments, condominiums or town-homes should contact their property management or association to establish recycling services. For a list of Service Providers, Drop-off Centers and Buy-Back/Scrap Yards see Service Provider and Facilities in the Disposal Guide. For more information contact SWALCO, 847-336-9340.
LAKE COUNTY CURBSIDE RECYCLING GUIDELINES
SWALCO has developed a common list of recyclable materials and guidelines for recycling in Lake County. This document was designed to be a simple one page, go-to recycling guide for the Lake County resident that will:
- provide a list of acceptable/recyclable items commonly found in the home or workplace with special notations and guidelines that address related issues and questions,
- address some of the more common and frequent questions related to recycling,
- provide a list of some of the more common items that are not acceptable/recyclable.
These guidelines should serve as a definitive source of information for Lake County residents to assist in clarifying some of the misleading and/or outdated information and to try and address some of the more frequent questions and concerns that residents have with regards to curbside recycling.
