Shred and Recycle at the Park District of La Grange This Month

Local representatives are inviting residents to put their spring cleaning to bed. Instead, ring in summer by getting rid of your lingering discards the responsible way!

A community shred day and recycling event will take place June 11 from 9 a.m. to noon in the north parking lot of the Park District of La Grange, 536 East Avenue.

The event is sponsored by State Representative Michael Zalewski, the Village of La Grange and the Park District of La Grange.

Documents such as old bank statements, outdated medical records, old tax returns, pay stubs, old bills, receipts, and credit card applications may be brought for shredding. Remove paper clips, staples and other bindings.

The Habitat for Humanity ReStore will accept appliances, kitchen cabinets, doors, flooring (wood and tile), furniture (see website below), functional air conditioners, lighting, millwork (no nails), plumbing, tools (working order), and windows (vinyl double-hung only).
