If you can rip the paper product you can recycle it. They do not accept glass at their drop-off. The City offers a recycling incentive program the first full week of the month. The Water Division Billing Office randomly draws addresses for each refuse day. For every item the City recycles equates to fewer items going into the landfill and less the City has to pay in landfill tipping fees.
Recycling can pay.
The City of Galesburg, Knox County, Western Illinois Disposal and Lowe's have operated a Christmas Tree Drop-off Program in Lowe's parking lot. It starts the day after Christmas and is open for approximately one week. Please remove plastic bags, metal tree stands, lights and ornaments since these items could severely damage the tub grinder used to chip the trees into compost. Flocked trees will not be accepted . For the remainder of the week after the holiday, service will be one day late.
