CAR SHARING WITH I-GO OR ZIP CAR

  • Rather than buy a new car, sign up for membership with a car-sharing program such as Enterprise’s I-Go  or Zipcar. These programs allow you to reserve and drive cars by the hour — and they cover the cost of the vehicle, insurance, gas, parking, and maintenance.

CARPOOL

  • Carpool or use ride-share programs when you can.

Styrofoam recycling

You can still drop it off on the front porch of 1315 Central Avenue until Sunday, January 9, 2022 at 6pm. (Do not drop off at Public Works!)
Styrofoam will be taken to Abt Electronics to be melted into a material that can be reused. Thanks to UMF/Perfect Clean Corporation for the use of their van for transporting the materials.
Remember:
  • Styrofoam is not collected in Wilmette’s curbside program
  • White Styrofoam only
  • No peanuts
  • No food containers
