SEATTLE (Recycling Monster): In collaboration with eWorks, Flat Can Recycling, and DuPage County, the Village of Westmont Environmental Improvement Committee will provide its residents with a way to safely dispose of things that may otherwise wind up in landfills.

The commuter parking lot across from Westmont Village Hall, located at 31 W. Quincy Street, will host the Westmont Electronics & More Recycling event on Saturday, November 22 from 8 a.m. to noon. The event is open to members of the public. Commercial drop-offs, however, are prohibited.

A lot of things will be accepted for free. For some products, there will be a collecting fee, though. On-site payment in cash or credit will be accepted during the event.
