Good morning, Naperville.

Naperville residents are encouraged to reduce holiday waste by recycling items like Christmas lights, trees, and electronics at recycling centers such as the Environmental Collection Campus at 156 Fort Hill Drive — a main collection site —.

They can also repurpose holiday greeting cards and old clothing into practical items.
