This is a reminder that Morrison Lions Club Recycle Day is Saturday, April 22, 2023, at the Whiteside County Fairgrounds, 201 W. Winfield Street, Morrison, IL, from 9:00 a.m. to noon. The photo shows Morrison High School helpers from a previous Recycle Day.
One major change this year is that Lions will not accept TVs and computer monitors.
Morrison Lions will accept other electronics at no cost, although monetary donations will be appreciated, to support community projects. New this year–sneakers/tennis shoes will be accepted. Other examples are computers, fax machines, telephones, calculators, cameras, camcorders, CD and DVD players, VCRs, microwaves, keyboards, modems, projectors, printers, scanners, shredders, string lights, cords, etc. Lions will collect old eyeglasses, keys, cell phones, printer cartridges, and American flags.
Morrison Police Department collects ammunition, old prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and pet medications. Pills must be out of the bottles and placed into a clear, plastic bag. No bottles, needles, syringes, or liquids will be accepted.
Paper products, including cardboard, magazines, soft-covered books, and newspapers will be accepted. The Scouts BSA will be accepting aluminum cans. Unlimited paper shredding will again be available at the Fairgrounds.
Scrap metal and household appliances may be donated, including vacuum cleaners, power and lawn tools, washers, refrigerators, dryers, ovens, dehumidifiers, freezers, water tanks, etc.
Vehicle batteries will be collected, including 6-, 12-, and 24-volt lead, acid batteries from vehicles, mowers, motorcycles, boats, RVs and heavy equipment. Used motor oil and antifreeze may be dropped off at Kunes Auto Group of Morrison, 627 E. Lincolnway, Morrison.
We reserve the right to refuse any item, because there are many things we cannot accept for recycling.
