Join us Sunday and Monday, April 6 and 7, from 11 am to 1 pm when the Missions Ministry collects Styrofoam as well as food staples for the West Suburban Community Pantry. The drive is held in the church parking lot, 25 E. Benton. In addition to Styrofoam we recycle bubble wrap, thin Styrofoam sheets, and, of course, Styrofoam peanuts. Food staples most needed by West Suburban include: canned tuna and chicken, peanut butter, canned beans (pinto, baked, garbanzo), spices and oil; whole grains (oats, cereal, quinoa); rice (white or brown); pasta, canned fruits & vegetables, and salad dressing. Toilet paper is also appreciated. Thank you for keeping Styrofoam out of landfill.

We’re also including electronics recycling this time.   Start gathering all things electronic including hair dryers, power tools, even blenders, mixers, and lamps; toasters and old electronics cords. We’re asking for a free-will cash donation with 100% of proceeds go to the City of Naperville’s Renewable Energy Program.

Do you need to recycle CRTs, Flat Screens, and Projection TVs? The City of Naperville charges to recycle these items. An under 21-inch screen is $25 per unit; and a 21-inch screen and over is $35 per unit. Cash only for these items. Need help bringing them in? Talk with Tom Farthing or Pete Fales and we’ll try and pick them up at your house.
