This year there are 42 outfits, representing over 65 designers, made in part from a wide variety of materials that were destined for the landfill. There is no cost to attend this event, but reservations are required by emailing info@swancc.org or calling SWANCC at (847) 724-9205, extension 201.

The Green Pages Reuse and Recycling Directory has been overhauled. Every address, phone number and website have been checked for accuracy. Green Pages is a helpful resource for residents seeking outlets for items they no longer need and would like to divert from the landfill if possible.

The directory lists reuse opportunities for books, clothing, office equipment, sporting goods, toys and other materials. This guide also provides information on various aspects of recycling and waste, featuring sections for appliances, batteries, construction debris, electronics, office machine cartridges, metals, motor oil and many other items.

Find outlets for your items in Green Pages.
