Illinois is starting strong with two EPR programs, PaintCare and Battery Network (formerly called Call2Recycle), that have drop-off options throughout the state for used paint and batteries. Look for time-sensitive workshop and webinar details.

The Septmber issue contains details for the Illinois Circularity Conference on October 14 & 15 in East Peoria. Register now and book your room at the Embassy Suites by September 22.
It’s April, and that means another Earth Day is upon us, the 55th to be exact! I know this is a busy time of the year, but I ask to take a few minutes to scroll through our latest edition of this newsletter and hope that you find it informative and empowering.
