Here’s how it works:

Stop by and purchase your recycling kit at the Village Office.

  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

  • Fill the kit with your used CFL’s.
  • Seal the kit.
  • Install shipping label on the kit.
  • Place recycling kit out for routine mail pick up from US Postal Service. (postage is prepaid on recycling kits)

It’s that easy, you are done and you’re helping the environment.
