Other notes
- Village says this center launched in April 2026. Use the west end of Public Works, not Village Hall at 200 E Wood Street.
- Only holiday lights and plastic bags are established as accepted by the dedicated center page. Do not leave ordinary recycling, TVs, appliances, chemicals or bulk trash here.
- The village plastics guidance explains why bags and film must not go in curbside recycling carts: thin plastic tangles sorting machinery. Plastic bags can instead be brought to this Public Works center.
- The plastics guidance also warns that #6 polystyrene does not go in recycling carts. It does not establish polystyrene intake at this two-material center.
- The number above is the village contact, not a claimed staffed 24-hour center phone. No separate residency, quantity or appointment rule appears on the center page.
