Holiday Recycling Opportunities

Holiday Lights 


Lisle residents who would like to recycle an unlimited amount of old, broken or unwanted strands of holiday lights can bring them to the Village Hall Lobby (925 Burlington Ave), Monday through Friday, November 19, 2018 until February 1, 2019 from 7 AM to 5 PM.  Accepted lights include mini-lights (or Italian lights), C7 lights, C9 lights, rope lights, LED lights and extension cords, all free of charge.  Garland, wreaths and outdoor display pieces containing lights will not be accepted.  The Village has partnered with Elgin Recycling to provide this service.   

Christmas Tree Collection

On Wednesday, January 3 and Tuesday, January 9, 2018, Republic Services will be collecting live Christmas trees at no additional charge. Please remove all ornaments, tinsel, lights and tree stands before setting trees out for collection. Place the trees at the curb next to other weekly garbage and recycling on one of the dates listed above.
