Electronics Recycling: From 9 a.m. to noon Thursday, March 27, the Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce, located at 25 E. Jackson St., Oswego, will host its monthly electronics recycling event. This service is available on the last Thursday of every month, unless otherwise stated. Attendees can bring unwanted electronics for responsible recycling. Please note that there is a fee for certain items, as the money collected goes directly to the recycling company to ensure proper disposal. The chamber does not benefit from these fees—this is a community service. Important Reminder: Do not drop off items at any time outside of the event hours. Leaving items in the parking lot or next to the blue building (19 E. Jackson St.) is not permitted.
