Recycling Questions Answered

 Where can I recycle off compact fluorescent bulbs, old computer monitors or styrofoam? To find answers to these questions and more, area residents can turn to the “McHenry County Official Green Guide 2015,” which features an up-to-date Recycling Directory and a Green Living section, plus a topic Index. The publication is available beginning April 26 at www.mchenry.edu/green.
 

New highlights in this year’s Green Guide include a listing of locations to drop off styrofoam and new locations for electronics recycling. Plus, a link to a survey to collect information on how people use the Green Guide is included. Survey results will provide direction for future editions of the Green Guide. If you wish to share some thoughts about the Green Guide, please go to www.surveymonkey.com/s/GreenGuide before August 1.

Sponsored by the MCC Sustainability Center at McHenry County College, the Green Guide 2015 provides useful and educational information for anyone looking to recycle, reuse or reduce to protect the environment. The Green Living section lists businesses that sell green products locally and online.  

 

In addition, the Green Guide 2015 will be available at 90 local government agencies and business locations and as an iRecycle app at Earth 911.com, the largest and most accurate recycling directory in the U.S.
