DC provides a 65-gallon recycle cart on wheels with a flip top lid for homes in the Village of Montgomery. Refer to section on CARTS AND CONTAINERS for more information on damaged, lost, and stolen or options regarding your recycle cart or container. Please review the following lists to see what is and isn’t recyclable with the curbside program. Many items that are recyclable cannot be collected with the curbside program because of how the materials are processed. Learn more about local or easy options where you can recycle items that we do not collect curbside by visiting www.countyofkane.org/recycling.
