PAPER RECYCLING

The Menard County Paper Recycling Program will be discontinued, indefinitely. It is expected that the recycling containers that are currently located in Petersburg, Athens, Greenview, Tallula and Oakford will be removed by July 1, 2010. This was a free service to both the County and its residents. Current costs have made it problematic for the area hauler to continue providing this service for free. The County has decided that the program must be discontinued at this time. If the County is able to provide this free program in the future, notice to do so will be given via the local papers and the County’s website, menardcountyil.com.

E-WASTE RECYCLING

The County has contracted with BLH Computers, Inc., out of Springfield, IL to provide electronics recycling.  Please see the following for more information:
