Carpet recycling program underway

The Village has teamed up with Heritage Recycling LLC to provide curb side collection and recycling of used carpet and padding. The pilot program, which is similar to the current yard waste and bulk garbage sticker programs, began March 1. During this pilot program, residential units may place an unlimited number of rolls out for collection so long as each has two blue stickers attached. Each roll must be no more than four feet wide (cut or folded) and not exceed 50 pounds. The rolls must be placed in a dry location such as on/under a porch or in a garage. Program participants then contact the vendor via information on the sticker to arrange pick up. Stickers cost $2 each and can be purchased at the Village Hall Cashier’s Office. For more information, call 708.358.5700 or e-mail publicworks@oak-park.us.
