The Village’s recycling contractor (Lakeshore Recycling) began participating in Hefty ReNew Orange Bag program. This program allows residents to recycle otherwise hard-to-recycle items through curbside recycling. Simply purchase the program’s orange bags at a participating retailer and place in your recycling container. Lakeshore will then sort these and route to the correct recycler at their facility. More information about the Renew program can be found on Hefty’s website.

As a result of this new program offering and due to increased uncertainty about the Village’s current Styrofoam recycler’s capacity to accept more product, the Village’s drop off program has been discontinued. Residents are encouraged to utilize the Hefty ReNew program as it can accept more products and disposal is simplified through curbside recycling. Large or voluminous amounts of Styrofoam can be taken to ABT in Glenview (white packaging foam only) or to Mount Prospect Public Works. For Abt’s recycling program information, please visit their website. For program information and hours at Mount Prospect Public Works building, please visit the Mount Prospect website.
