In the coming weeks, Evanston residents will have two opportunities to recycle electronics for free at nearby locations.
Got an old computer cluttering up your home office? Think it’s time to destroy the piles of top secret documents you have lying around?

Three noteworthy ordinances passed at Monday night's Evanston City Council meeting.
