Arlington Heights: Safe Disposal of Toxic Chemicals
Poisonous chemicals can be purchased at every corner store, but to properly dispose of them is extremely difficult. Join the movement to have the local government provide a monthly poison collection service to give citizens an easy, accessible way to dispose of poisons.
Why is this important?
***When you sign this petition, you will receive an automatic form email from me***I believe that we need to step up at the local level. This means taking initiative and expanding green practices. The key to environmentally friendly practices is accessibility and the Illinois system for poison recycling is not. It’s illegal to throw away poisons, as it should be, but our government is not giving citizens an easy way to make the right choice. As a result, toxic poisons end up in our landfills and eventually our water supply. Arlington Heights is a member community of the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County(SWANCC), but this relationship is neither well known or convenient for citizens. If the Arlington Heights government could sponsor an affordable cost-wise collection plan that is accessible, it will prevent poisonous chemicals from seeping into our water supply. Please voice your support for this project and spread the word.
