Celebrate America Recycles Day by improving recycling! Over the last few decades more items have become recyclable but many of them can't be placed in the curbside collection. The carts are emptied without a driver removing these items and people believe they are acceptable. We are asking you to talk with friends and neighbors about what actually is accepted with a flyer for reference!

Take a fun tour of our local farm where Will County's pumpkins are composted. The Illinois Food Scrap and Composting Council worked with Christiansen Farms to offer this seasonal and timely event. The tour is FREE. Please sign up and dress appropriately.
