This program is for residents that live in one
of SWANCC’s 23 member communities. No
prescription drugs or sharps from businesses,
schools or hospitals will be accepted. IDs will
be checked for verification of residency.
General tips:
• Prescription drugs that are more than a year old
should be disposed of properly.
• Turn in non-prescription medicines without an
expiration date that are more than six months old.
•Keep pharmaceuticals in their original containers
with labels to identify contents.
•Sharps need to be placed in a rigid container with a
sealed lid. A new sharps container will be provided.
For Your Information
Dangers of medicine in the water system
Recent research conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the
U.S. Geological Survey found substantial amounts of antibiotics and steroidal
hormones in rivers, lakes and wells from samples analyzed in 36 states. For
more information, visit epa.gov/ppcp.
Dangers of needles in trash
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, each year, 8 million
people use more than 3 billion needles, syringes, and lancets, also called
sharps, to manage medical conditions at home. Some sharps users throw their
used needles in the trash or flush them down the toilet. Used sharps left loose
among other waste can hurt sanitation workers during collection rounds, at
sorting and recycling facilities and at landfills, or become lodged in equipment,
forcing workers to remove them by hand.
Acceptable Items:
Unused/Expired prescription medications
Prescription cough syrup
Prescription ear drops and eye drops
Expired over-the-counter medications
Residential sharps (needles/syringes)
Children, adults and even pets are also at risk for needle-stick injuries when
sharps are disposed improperly at home or in public settings. For more
information, visit epa.gov/osw.

Recycling Program
Solid Waste Agency of
Northern Cook County
Used CFLs should be disposed of properly using the guidelines
stated above, please visit swancc.org for details.
CFLs are made of glass tubing and can break if dropped or
roughly handled. Be careful when removing the lamp from
its packaging, installing it or replacing it. Always screw and
unscrew the lamp by its base and never forcefully twist the CFL
into a light socket by its tubes.
Should I be concerned about using CFLs in my home?
CFLs are safe to use in your home. No mercury is released when
the bulbs are in use and they pose no danger to you or your
family when used properly.
There is currently no substitute
for mercury in CFLs; however,
manufacturers have taken significant
steps to reduce mercury used in their
fluorescent lighting products over the
past decade.
To locate ther nearest drop-off location
and hours of operation for CFLs in your
community, visit swancc.org.
What should I do with a CFL when it burns out?
Like paint, batteries, thermostats and
other hazardous household items, CFLs
should be disposed of properly.
Do CFLs contain mercury?
CFLs contain about 5 milligrams (mg) of mercury sealed within
the glass tubing. In comparison, an older oral thermometer
contains 700 mg of mercury, 140 times the amount in a CFL.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Information and resources on all sources of mercury can
be found at epa.gov/mercury.
CFL RESOURCES
Learn more about saving energy and recycling by visiting illinoisenergy.org and energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE IN SWANCC’S CFL PROGRAM?
Only residents that live in a SWANCC member community are
eligible to participate. Visit swancc.org for a list of SWANCCmember communities that are providing a drop-off location
for CFLs. Some will accept 4 foot fluorescent lamps. Bring
spent bulbs in a zip-lock-type baggie for extra protection to a
drop-off location during designated hours.
Each CFL contains a small amount of mercury sealed within
the glass tubing – an average of 5 milligrams (roughly
equivalent to the tip of a ball-point pen). Mercury poses
potential health risks, therefore the CFLs should not be
disposed of in the garbage if there is a recycling option.
DANGERS OF CFLs
This information is taken from the Dept. of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
▪ CFLs reduce air pollution for a cleaner environment. If
every IL household replaced one incandescent bulb with
an 18-watt CFL, the results would be equivalent to:
… removing 294,000 tons of carbon emissions
from the air;
… planting 39.4 million trees;
… removing over 74,000 vehicles from Illinois
roads each year.
▪ CFLs produce about 70% less heat than standard
incandescent bulbs and are cool to the touch.
▪ Each CFL bulb can save you at least $25 in energy costs
over the life of the bulb.
▪ They produce the same amount of light, but use 2/3 less
energy and last 10 times longer.
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency recommends the use of CFLs
when compared to incandescent
bulbs for the following reasons:

Tips to Clean Up a Broken CFL
1. If possible, open a window in the room for ventilation.
2. Sweep up the broken glass fragments and fine particles
with a piece of cardboard and a damp paper towel.
3. Contain broken glass, cardboard and paper towel in a zip lock
bag, then place in a brown bag marked “broken glass”.
4. Place the double bags with above contents in the outside
garbage can – do not sweep up or vacuum debris or put it
in an inside garbage compactor.
Tips to Remove and Replace a CFL
• Turn light switch off before removing the bulb
• Unscrew the bulb by holding the plastic or ceramic base,
not the glass tubing
• Do not over-tighten bulb when replacing
• Never forcefully twist the glass tubing
• Consider placing a towel underneath area where CFL is
being changed
• Do not use CFLs in locations where lamps can be knocked over

It is unlawful for any individual, firm or corporation to deposit refuse and/or
yard waste on either private or public property, including residential/commercial
dumpsters and Village receptacles, other than that authorized for the individual.
This will be strictly enforced; a fine may be imposed.
“Fly Dumping”
Please contact Public Works (847-870-5640) for a current listing of
businesses accepting used car batteries, tires and motor oil.
State law prohibits the disposal of car batteries, tires and motor oil.
Therefore, car batteries, tires and motor oil are not collected by the
refuse hauler. However, residents have several options for proper
disposal of car batteries, tires and motor oil. A number of businesses
in the area will accept these materials for recycling, charges may
apply.
Car Batteries, Tires, Motor Oil
• Dispose of only empty containers in the household refuse.
• Recycle through reuse by giving unused portions to
neighbors or community organizations who will use
the product; i.e. paints, cleaning products, etc.
• Recycle products that can be remanufactured for reuse;
i.e. motor oil, automobile batteries.
• Solidified latex paint can be disposed of in household
refuse. Use absorbents like kitty litter to solidify latex paint.
• Take unused household hazardous waste to a permanent collection facility
or a one-day collection. Visit the Village’s website at www.mountprospect.
org to find out more.
When improperly stored or disposed of, household wastes threaten human health
or cause environmental contamination. Please follow these rules to properly
dispose of hazardous materials.
Household hazardous waste, such as chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, oil, paint,
varnishes, strippers and similar items are not allowed in landfills and thus are
not collected as part of the Village’s solid waste collection program.
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
Page 18
Village of Mount Prospect Public Works
Multi-family properties are responsible for the collection and disposal of all yard
waste generated at the properties. Each property may contract independently for
landscaping service or they can contact ARC (847-981-0091) for details regarding
yard waste collection at multi-family properties.
Yard Material
Questions regarding your property’s participation should be directed to the
owner/property manager.
Residents residing in properties without the centralized program are encouraged
to contact Public Works (847-870-5640) to obtain information about drop off
locations.
Recycling carts containing refuse and/or plastic bags will not be collected. If the
placement of refuse and/or plastic bags is an ongoing problem and no solution
can be arrived at by the property manager and the Village, the program may be
discontinued.
Recyclables are collected in 95 gallon wheeled carts. Please check with the property
owner/manager for the location of the wheeled carts.
The Village provides centralized recycling services to
any multi-family property choosing to participate. The
same materials collected in the curbside collection program are also collected at
multi-family properties. Please refer to the recycling section under Single-family
Collection beginning on page 3 for proper preparation of recyclables.
The Village of Mount Prospect encourages residents to
reduce, reuse and recycle. While the Village provides an
extensive recycling program, residents should be aware
that purchasing habits can reduce the amount of waste
generated.

To assist residents with collecting old electronics and to ensure environmentally
safe recycling of these materials, the Village in association with the Solid Waste
Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) have developed the Electronics
Recycling Drop-off Program to collect electronics on an ongoing basis.
ELECTRONICS WASTE BAN
In September 2009, Illinois became the 16th state to adopt an electronics recycling
law known as the Electronics Products Recycling and Reuse Act (SB2313). This
legislation bans certain electronic items, mainly computers and televisions, from
Illinois landfills starting January 1, 2012.
ELECTRONICS WASTE BAN
The Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) provides the Green Pages
Reuse and Recycling Directory, a useful resource for residents seeking outlets for items they no
longer need.
The Reuse and Recycling Directory lists reuse opportunities for books, clothing, office
equipment, sporting goods, toys and other materials. This guide also provides information on
various aspects of recycling and waste, featuring sections for appliances, batteries, construction
debris, electronics, office machine cartridges, metals, motor oil and many other items.
There are also online avenues to divert materials from the waste stream such as freecycle.org,
craigslist.org and ebay.com that are used to post items to be purchased or picked up for free.
Other helpful online sites include:
1800recycling.com – finds recycling locations near your zip code
earth911.com – provides recycling options for whatever item you specify
ecyclingcentral.com – provides electronics recycling locations
digitaltips.org – supplies responsible electronics information and recycling locations
Help us spread the word! If you find a new reuse or recycling source or learn about a change in
the information we have provided, please contact SWANCC staff at [email protected] or call
(847) 724-9205, x9. Thank you for your help!

ELECTRONICS RECYCLING___________________
Electronics Disclaimer, May 2010
In September 2009, Illinois became the 16th state to adopt an electronics recycling law known as
the Electronics Products Recycling and Reuse Act. This legislation bans certain electronic items,
mainly computers and televisions, from IL landfills. The IL EPA posts a list of approved
electronic waste Collectors, Recyclers and Refurbishers at epa.state.il.us.
The following electronics recyclers are not an endorsement by SWANCC, simply a listing of
options. It is recommended by SWANCC that you research the downstream recycling practices
of any company listed prior to giving them your old electronics.
The Federal Electronics Challenge provides a checklist to assist businesses, municipalities,
schools, etc. with the selection of responsible electronics recycling services. For more
information, visit federalelectronicschallenge.net.
To learn about the dangers of exporting electronic waste to Third World Countries, visit the
Basel Action Network at ban.org.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS __________________________
Contact product manufacturer to see if there is a recycling program in effect. Fire extinguishers
are under pressure, and have the potential to explode in combination with some materials. They
cannot be discarded curbside and are not accepted at Household Chemical Waste collections.
Earth911 suggests disposing of a fire extinguisher as follows if it is not empty:
1. Check pressure gauge: The extinguisher should have a gauge saying whether it’s
overcharged, at the correct pressure or in need of a recharge.
2. Call your fire department: You might be able to exchange your extinguisher or get it
recharged.
This information is not an endorsement of any company, product, or service. Please call locations prior to drop-off. Last updated: September 2011.
34
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS continued__________________
If it’s empty:
1. Squeeze the lever above the handle, ensuring that all contents are discharged.
2. Remove the head: This will let whoever disposes of the extinguisher know that all
contents have been removed.
3. Recycle the steel body: Once the head is removed, your community should accept fire
extinguishers with the rest of your ferrous metal.
In either case, make sure to follow any instructions on the fire extinguisher.
The following are recycling options for fire extinguishers:

PAINT_________________________________________
Latex Paint:
Latex paint will not be accepted at Household Chemical Waste collections. It may be disposed of
at home because it is water-based and does not contain toxic material.
The easiest way to dispose of paint is to use it up completely. Apply a second coat to your
project or use it up on a piece of old cardboard or scrap wood. Let the can dry out and dispose of
it in your regular garbage. If this isn’t an option, continue reading for further instructions.
You can add shredded newspapers, kitty litter or Waste Paint Hardener (available at most
hardware stores) to your latex paint. Let the paint dry out completely. This should be done in a
well-ventilated area and away from children and pets. After the paint has dried, put the container
in your garbage with the lid off so the garbage hauler knows the can is empty.

POLYSTYRENE/STYROFOAM___________________
The same properties that make polystyrene an excellent packaging material - its light weight, low
cost and strength - make it difficult to recycle. The cost of trucking polystyrene to a recycling
plant is cost-prohibitive and it has low scrap value. Because styrofoam food containers are
usually contaminated, they require cleaning before they can be processed for recycling, another
factor which makes recycling generally infeasible.

SMOKE DETECTORS__________________________
Ionization smoke detectors contain small amounts of radioactive materials. Never disassemble a
smoke detector. Intact detectors pose little threat, but can be a health hazard if broken open. By
federal regulation, all smoke detectors contain the mail-back address to send used units with
radioactive chips. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission suggests checking the label on the
detector for disposal options, but residents may safely discard individual units in their regular
garbage.
