In November the City Council voted to discontinue the Spring Clean Up Program.  In an effort to divert items from landfills and be environmentally responsible the City is promoting other alternatives for disposal, recycling, reuse of items.  There were numerous items put out at spring clean up that could have been recycled or taken to hazardous waste drop off.  Below is a list of alternatives for recycling/disposing of materials usually reserved for the Spring Clean Up Program.

Veolia Drop Off - Veolia has transfer station in Batavia for a fee ($87.00 for up to a ton of materials).  There is also a free recycling drop off.  The facility is located at 766 Hunter Street, Batavia 630-879-3587. The hours are Monday thru Friday 6 am – 5 pm and Saturday 6 am – 10 am.
