Recycle Those Holiday Trees and Lights
River Forest sets schedule to take away all that holiday stuff.
Christmas has come and gone but the ornaments and greenery remain.
What do you do with them? River Forest has a solution for you - recycle them.
Residents can recycle their holiday lights from now through Monday, Jan. 7 at a collection site set for Central Avenue between Park and Franklin. The site will be open 24 hours a day.
