The recycling drop off is open again! We hope it stays open this time.
As we are in the holiday season, which is always one of the busiest times at the recycle bins, please adhere to the rules set for recycling so that the privilege is not lost for all. Please note the following:
* The recycle bins are for Village of Philo and Philo Township residents ONLY
* If the bins are full, take your items back with you instead of dumping them on the ground (this is illegal dumping)
* Break down ALL boxes! This leaves more room in the bins
* Make sure the doors on the bins are closed after you use them
