Green Team Meeting

Our January  meeting  the Green Team has much to catch up on and possibly plan for 2012.  Please join us 7pm @ the Village Hall, 9446 Raymond, Ave., Oak Lawn, IL 60453 or watch for future opportunities to assist! For more resources on "Green" resources or OL Green events or accomplishments, visit our Green Team page on the Village of Oak Lawn website:  http://www.oaklawn-il.gov/GreenTeam.aspx.

The new Electronics Law that started January 1st has definitely kept us busy here at Oak Lawn Public Works.  Just a wild guess… but it is a good bet a lot of you received TV’s for the holidays?!  Hmmmm… The volume of electronics coming in is staggering!  Apparently the word is definitely getting out!  We thank you for your sustainable actions and keeping these materials out of the landfill and recycling or reusing these electronic items.

We’ve removed the ability to reply as we work to make improvements. Learn more here
