If Groot is your waste hauler, make sure when you turn 65 you call to get the senior rate. 847 693-2700.

Groot has agreed to allow your compost material to be recycled with your yard waste. If you are participating in this you must use a rigid 35 gallon container not to exceed 50 pounds when full. No yard waste bags may be used because they tend to fall apart when food waste is included with yard waste. This is only available during yard waste season. See the list below for accepted items. Stickers for your lawn bags or your rigid 35 gallon containers are available for purchase at the Jewel service desk. No Teabags, Coffee Filters, Meat ,Poultry, Seafood or Seafood shells are allowed.

April 22, 2023 is the 53rd Earth Day! The establishment of Earth Day was originally intended to raise environmental awareness and promote environmental actions here in America. Since the establishment of Earth Day in 1970 it has become an international movement that drives positive action for the planet. The following is a partial list of current Earth Day campaigns in the U.S. and across the globe:

- The Canopy Project improves our shared environment by planting trees.

- The End Plastic Pollution campaign helps people understand the impacts of plastic pollution and how everyday actions can lessen the problem.

- Climate and Environmental Literacy focuses on education, job creation, developing green consumer markets, and promoting civic engagement to address climate change.

On April 22nd people across the world will raise their collective awareness and perhaps even engage in local and global actions meant to improve and protect our Earth for everyone. YAY Planet Earth!
