A followup from Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful after the Oct. 3 Fall Metals and Electronics Drive:

Lori Gummow, executive director, reports that 829 people dropped off 247 computer monitors, 90 dehumidifiers, 27 air conditioners, 21 refrigerators, 19 freezers and 12 propane tanks.

“Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful would like to thank the 74 volunteers who spent the day unloading items from vehicles, directing traffic and greeting the attendees.”

She also sent this photo:

Volunteers Steve Hall and Keith Kramke help with the refrigerators and air conditioners.
