The electronics recycling event will be held in the Palatine Township Center parking lot, 721 S. Quentin
Road in Palatine. Motorists must enter from westbound Illinois Street just east of Quentin Road. Vehicles
dropping off items are to stay to the right side of Illinois Street, so as not to obstruct general traffic before
