MPORTANT! Cell Phone for Soldiers is now! KNIB will take in your old cell phones or tablets to help the soldiers. All items donated get sent to Cellphones for Soldiers who recycles them and then donates prepaid international calling cards to the soldiers so they can call home. We take them all. The cords and batteries are not needed but you can donate those separately. We are open Saturday the 23rd as well as 26th & the 30th. Hope to see you soon!Note: If you can not factory reset your device, Cellphones for Soldiers' recycling partner follows the Dept. of Defense standards for wiping all devices. Please do not send any instruction manuals.

Calling all volunteers! We need help this coming Saturday, May 16th. We have so many people at home cleaning and are making sure they recycle properly. The response has been HUGE. We've opened up volunteer sign up for two more spots this Saturday. Please sign up if you can help! Also, note sign up times!

Happy Monday Everyone! We hope you had a great weekend! On Saturday, we had our Spring Clothing Drive at our facility on Hydraulic Road. We had no idea the turnout would be that phenomenal! It was unprecedented! Normally we have 4 locations, but with covid, we were limited to just one. We would like to thank ALL of the people who patiently waited in line to drop off their clothing or other recyclables. You were so understanding! We definitely want to apologize to all those who got turned away. BUT, the good news is that you can come on any Tuesday from 2 pm - 5 pm or Saturday morning from 9 am - noon to drop off your clothing or the other items that we do take. A special shout out to Andy Gannon from 23 News who was in line and decided to pull over to volunteer, the Rockford Police Department who so graciously offered assistance when our lines got too big, and, as always, to our volunteers, who without them, none of this would be possible! We are grateful to you all! Thank you for making this Clothing Drive a massive success! Keep cleaning out those closets!

Quick Tips to Reduce the LandfillsI came across a few EASY tips to make changes that will keep out unnecessary trash out of our landfills.1. Using glass containers instead of plastic ones for leftovers last longer and wash up easily in your dishwasher. For an extra boost, you can take these to restaurants (when we are allowed back) to take home your leftovers.2. Make and take mason jars – mix things like salads, snacks or fruit in a glass mason jar. Extra perk - the ones from Pampered Chef come with a lid that will hold salad dressing. Compact, easy to carry. Fridge, freezer and dishwasher safe. It’s a win – win!3. Assorted silicone lids stretch over your containers (even square ones) to keep food fresh. They wash up easily and are dishwasher safe. Great for the fridge, freezer or microwave. (Extra tip - It’s best to get the ones with the vent holes so steam can escape.)A few changes makes a big difference in the big picture. Thanks to Robin Mann, Pampered Chef, for the suggestions.
