Did you know that McHenry County was the first county to mandate residential recycling in Illinois? We realized the benefits, importance and the future of recycling and took action.

Do you often find yourself wondering where to take an appliance or computer or what can and cannot be recycled? Do you find yourself needing phone numbers and websites to companies that can help but don’t know where to look?

On April 19, your questions will be answered. The official McHenry County Green Guide 2013 will be an insert in the Northwest Herald. This 40-page publication is made possible by a partnership of the Lou Marchi Total Recycling Institute at McHenry County College and the Northwest Herald and the individuals, organizations and businesses who purchase ads and support the Green Guide.
