Holiday schedule last verified 2026-11-07 from official sources .
Other notes
- Current county alert says Fabyan closed THROUGH November 9, not already reopened. First week after reopening it cannot take corrugated cardboard or large scrap metal due to service delays. Confirm reopening and stream restoration before a trip.
- Both county centers accept listed electronics, clothing/textiles, books/paper fiber, smoke/CO detectors and listed child gear. Fabyan-only extras include cardboard, loose portable/medium batteries, non-refrigerant metal appliances/scrap, aerosols and small fuel canisters; do not leave these at West Dundee.
- Fabyan normally has a 24/7 self-service kiosk for select items, but the repaving alert does not separately guarantee kiosk access during closure. Do not bypass closure to reach it.
- Pay cash or major credit/debit at county centers. Laptop/tablet/integrated-screen computers are not charged the standalone monitor fee. Elburn fees are paid to LRS by phone and its oversized TV rule differs.
- Elburn accepts only listed electronics, not county-center extra streams; call 844-633-3577 to schedule and pay for TVs/monitors. For county questions use the recycling office number above.
