♻️ Machesney Park’s recycling crew is small but mighty—and they’re on a mission to keep Northern Illinois beautiful! Whether it’s plastic, paper, or glass, every drop-off helps protect our planet 🌍

🌱 Earth Day is April 22nd, and you can celebrate early at their Earth Day Banquet on April 17th! 🎉 Come for the cause, stay for the community.

Over 100 cars a day swing through the drop-off center—and the team knows just about every face. That’s the kind of local connection that makes going green even greater 💚

Drop off, feel good, repeat. Let’s keep it clean, Rockford!
