Other notes
- Drop boxes are on the EAST side of the Public Works building in the parking lot near the gate entrance, not at the village-hall footer 290 Evergreen Drive.
- Municipal accepted examples: cameras, CD/DVD players, cellular phones, computer drives, keyboards, modems, monitors, computers, printers, scanners, stereos, televisions, VCRs, video games, shredders and small household appliances. Ask about unusual or damaged items.
- All items must be free of packaging, manuals and loose broken glass. The municipal page says items too large for the box may be placed on the ground NEXT TO THAT BOX; this is not permission to dump elsewhere or leave unrelated trash.
- Current SWALCO countywide list names three supported hosts and does not include Vernon Hills, while this village page describes its own year-round collection. Treat this as the municipal program and confirm current status/eligibility, rather than silently applying the county host schedule or seven-item cap.
- No general household garbage, yard waste or HHW intake is established here. SWALCO information line 847-336-9340 can direct residents to separate chemical programs.
