Electronics and Paint recycling

The City of Aledo provides a drop-off location for electronics (e-waste) & paint to be recycled, for Mercer County residents, as the State of Illinois has outlawed the disposal of these items in state landfills. 

The drop-off site is located at the City of Aledo Street Department Garage at 309-311 E. Main Street. The hours of operation are every first and third Thursday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to Noon & 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
