Northfield Township Road District Daily Recycling Center Set To Open

NORTHBROOK, IL — Local residents will soon again have a place to drop off recycling as the Northfield Township Road District will again open up its facility for daily use beginning next week.

The road district’s garage is located at 237 Melvin Dr. and accepts recyclable materials Monday through Friday. The facility will open at 7 a.m. April 10 and will be open until 3 p.m. on weekdays through Nov. 3, local officials said.

The road district garage accepts a wide variety of items for charitable reuse or responsible recycling, which are listed on the road district’s website. Residents are asked to drive their vehicles to the front of the garage door on the north driveway side of the building and ring the bell for assistance unloading their vehicles.

No TVs or computer monitors are accepted at the residential drop-off spot and no business-related recycling will be accepted.

In addition to weekday recycling, the road district also offers paper shredding and household chemical recycling throughout the summer months. All of the recycling events are open to Northfield Township residents, which includes Northfield, Northbrook, and Glenview.

Those events are also held at the road district garage and will be held on the following dates:
