| What shouldn't you be flushing? |
|
Did you know.....that when flushed down the toilet or poured down your sink or floor drain certain products may damage the sewer pipes in your home and yard, the sewer system in your neighborhood, your sewer treatment pumps and treatment facilities, and the environment?
The following items should never be flushed down the toilet or discarded through a sink or floor drain: Wet/dry cleaning cloths (Swiffer, etc) any plastics (bags, gloves, condoms) sanitary napkins and tampon, antibacterial wipes (Lysol, etc), cooking oil, fat and grease, diapers and diaper wipes (even if it says flushable) cloth, rags and string, laundry dryer sheet, pharmaceutical drugs, over-the-counter medicines, household cleaning chemicals, hygiene or personal care products, fuels, motor oil and antifreeze, paints and paint thinners, perfumes and cosmetics, and lawn care chemicals.
Lake County produced a 4 minute video to help educate the public on this issue. Click here to view it.

Recycle towels, sheets, blankets, eye glasses, shoes
|
|
I am amazed at the donations we receive for the local Animal Shelters. They are all being used and there is a demand. We really appreciate Tracy Oliver and her continued dedication in delivering these items to our local shelters.
If you have used towels, sheets or blankets that need to be recycled, please consider bringing them to Fremont Township at 22385 Rt 60, Mundelein to be donated to local Animal Shelters. Please drop them in the bin on the front porch. This keeps them out of the landfill and puts them to good use.
We also accept eye glasses and shoes to be recycled year round. |
