Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful Opens Monthly Recycling Center for Electronics, Hard-to-Recycle Materials

A new recycling center has opened in South Beloit, Ill., and will accept electronics and other hard-to-recycle materials once a month.

Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful (KNIB) opened the South Beloit Recycle Center last week. The center will be open from 9 a.m. to noon on the second Saturday of every month. Residents can recycle TVs, monitors, electronics, appliances, metals, and textiles.
