Construction and Demolition Recycling

The Lake County Board just passed a Construction and Demolition Recycling ordinance that requires recycling of material on structures over 1500 square feet. This ordinance is stricter that our City of Highland Parks ordinance that only requires recycling on structures over 2500 square feet.

Again, Walter Willis and SWALCO has been instrumental in providing leadership to our Public Works and Transportation Committee on moving forward on the recycling issue. In accordance with our 60% recycling objectives and commitment, I am hopeful Highland Park and other Lake County communities will move forward in increasing their recyclables accordingly.
