Title

Fall Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Event

 

History

In May and October of 2023, the Village, the Orland Township Highway Department and the Illinois EPA through their contractor Heritage Environmental, successfully hosted a Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Event at the Civic Center. Due to the overwhelming success and participation success, the Village received a request from Orland Township Highway Department to partner with the Orland Township Highway Department for a Fall collection event (agreement attached).

 

The joint event is planned for Saturday, November 2, 2024, from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. in the Civic Center parking lot. The event is open to all Illinois residents. A valid state ID or recent utility bill, and pre-registration for a specific time slot is required to participate. Business, agriculture, industrial or government waste will not be accepted.

 

Heritage Environmental Services is the contractor that will only be handling the household hazardous waste. No one else will be allowed to touch the hazardous waste. There will be general waste dumpsters ordered by Heritage Environmental that will be removed Monday, November 4, in the morning. All other items, including the hazardous waste, will be removed from site at the end of the event on November 2.

 

The Township Highway Department will supply staff and volunteer for the event including a representative on site during the entire event. The Orland Fire Protection District has also been notified of the event. The Village will supply two CSOs for traffic control as well as sign boards. The Village will work with the Township Highway Department on joint marketing and registration. Individuals wishing to drop off items will need to pre-register. The Village will secure a site access agreement and will provide the IEPA with a site permission letter. In addition, a Certificate of Insurance naming the Village as additional insured will be obtained from Heritage Environmental Services.
