Will County Green Offers Recycling Event In Homer Glen

WILL COUNTY – Will County’s Resource Recovery & Energy Division has released its Fall 2025 Will County Green recycling and collection event schedule, which includes an event in Homer Glen on Sept. 27.

The Homer Glen event will be a hazardous waste, motor oil and electronics collection, according to the county. Specific event location will be provided upon booking an appointment.

Visit www.WillCountyGreen.com to schedule an appointment for any of the events or see the full list of items that will be accepted. Most events require registration ahead of time and are open to all residents of any community fully or partially in Will County.

At the Homer Glen event, nearly all types of electronics and household chemicals, hazardous materials and liquids are accepted. There is a limit of two TVs and 15 gallons of paint per vehicle.

“These are some of our most popular events of the year, offering an opportunity for residents to responsibly dispose of household items and help keep items out of landfills,” said Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant. “This is a great time to clean out the closet or garage to find those unwanted items for recycling or reuse.”

Coinciding with the Fall schedule, Will County has also launched a “Caps On” campaign to bring attention to the importance of recycling plastic bottles, tubs, and jugs. The campaign is aimed at raising awareness that caps are allowed on plastic items when they are recycled, a reversal of outdated education that instructed people to add them to the garbage, according to the county.
