    Where do I recycle?
    Where do I drop off my electronic recyling?

    When is the next household chemical waste collection?

    Where do I recycle clothing and textiles?

    Where do I dispose of medication?

    If I haven't listed it, how do I recycle this?

    If you have used towels, sheets or blankets that need to be recycled, please consider bringing them to Fremont Township at 22385 Rt 60, Mundelein to be donated to local Animal Shelters. Please drop them in the bin on the front porch. This keeps them out of the landfill and puts them to good use. Local residents Tracy and Jessica Oliver are again responsible for this drive. The Animal Shelter Drive starts today and ends August 31.

    We also accept eye glasses and shoes to be recycled year round.
