We are pleased to report that clear plastic clamshell containers (like the ones used for berries) are recyclable in Wilmette’s curbside program if there is a #1 symbol on them. Rinse and close containers before recycling.

New LED lights use a fraction of the energy of older holiday lights. Upgrade to energy-efficient lights this year and drop off old or broken lights at the Village’s Public Works facility for recycling. The Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) and its member communities are offering a Holiday Light Recycling Program, free of charge, for all SWANCC area residents.
