SWANCC

SWANCC - Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County

My mom works for the Village of Glenview and was telling me about this recycling program they offer to Cook County Residents. They offer all kinds of services such as confidential paper shredding, holiday light recycling, commercial waste disposal sights, composting information, and residential chemical disposal, where they come to your house to safely remove hazardous chemicals and dispose of them correctly. They also recycle pharmaceuticals and needles. Even when you flush an old perscription down the toliet, it can still cause harm to other species and contaminate water. The SWANCC allows you to safely recycle items that we don't always know what to do with. In addition, they offer educational programs and resources to Cook County residents. Check out their website, which is full of useful information on how to live green!
