Recycling
The Carol Stream Park District is committed to being environmentally responsible. Green initiatives by the park district include:
Staff inventoried all our recylcling and garbage containers in our parks and facilities. Best "green" practice is to have a recycling container next to every garbage can. We found we are short of this goal by over 100 cans. Staff is researching and pricing vendors. We hope to complete the purchase, painting, and placement of cans within a month or two.
Nike grinds us used athletic shoes and make sports surfaces our of them. We will be collecting the used shoes to send to Nike all summer. Look for collection boxes in the Simkus Recreation Center, Coral Cove and Coyote Crossing.
