Community Green Groups

Cool Joliet Group A variety of green groups have sprung up throughout Will County initiating green actions in their communities, fostering educational opportunities, improving understanding and enhancing communication between business, government and citizens. If you have an interest in being more green, working with others that share similar interests, consider attending a meeting to learn about a group in your area or forming a new group.

Will County has occasionally attended meetings, provided information or successfully worked on specific projects over the years in conjunction with a group to increase the public awareness. Instances of these partnerships include, holding a medication take-back program in conjunction with the first New Lenox Sharefest, holding a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event in conjunction with the second Sharefest, holding an Electronics Collection event in conjunction with the 2010 Will County/Lockport C.A.R.E. Earth Day Fair at Lewis University in Romeoville, holding an Electronics Collection event in conjunction with GR2010 in Joliet and holding a an Electronics Collection event in conjunction with the Conservation Plainfield's Clean Up Week.

In addition, the Resource Recovery and Energy Division has participated in Community Environmental Fairs and Health Fairs, providing a booth with information and handouts. We have promoted the Joliet/Will County Project Pride Classroom Worm Bin project in our school newsletter and presented information to the Cool Joliet group on our many green initiatives. If we have missed a group in our listing, please let us know.
