GALENA—Due to the holiday schedule, electronics recycling dates for the City of Galena are different for November and December. Instead of the traditional last-Friday-of-the-month collection, mark these dates on the calendar:
- • Friday, Nov. 20
- • Friday, Jan. 8
- • Friday, Jan. 29
Recycle old televisions and computer monitors on the dates listed from 8 a.m.–1:30 p.m. at Galena City Hall parking lot, 101 Green St. Cost for recycling is $25 per television or monitor. There is no fee for small electronics, including Christmas lights. Plan to bring help to unload large items.
Used batteries and CFL bulbs are always accepted at city hall. Unwanted or expired medication may be dropped off throughout the year at the Galena Police Department, 311 N. Bench St., Galena. There is no charge for batteries, bulbs, or medication disposal.
The city conducts the collection as a courtesy for residents. Items are taken to T&T Iron & Metals, 5158 Barge Terminal Road, East Dubuque. If you have more than five televisions or monitors or a large quantity of items, contact and transport the items directly to T&T or another recycling center. T&T is open Monday through Saturday, and cost for recycling is the same $25 fee per television or monitor.
