ReplyVolkst, I apologize if you contacted Will County and were simply told cooking oil is not hazardous. While this is true, we do offer information on recycling it and caution that it should NOT be poured down the drain. Small quantities may be accepted at fast-food restaurants, but you must speak to a manager. Many restaurants are paid a small fee for the cooking oil these days as it can be recycled into fuel and other products. You'll find some information on willcountygreen.com website - under the Green Guide Database. http://www.willcountygreen.com/recycling_centers.aspx

Batteries come in a variety of sizes and types. All rechargeable batteries should be recycled because they have metals that may be hazardous to the environment. Alkaline batteries, several decades ago, had mercury in them and were also hazardous. Today, with the exception of some button batteries, alkalines have no mercury and are not hazardous. A few retailers do offer recycling for these non-hazardous batteries: Batteries Plus has several locations in and around Will County. A list is available at http://www.willcountygreen.com/recycling_centers.aspx

ReplyHi Darah, I believe Frankfort has their recycling has taken by NuWay and that company does accept plastic bottles #1 through #7, except #6 according to their website. You should be able to leave caps on and recycle more bottles.
