Recycling Extravaganza The
Village of Downers Grove and the Downers Grove Park District will host
a Recycling Extravaganza on Saturday, September 11, 2010 from 8:00 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m. at the Belmont Road Train Station in Parking Lot H.
The event is in advance of Amnesty Day and gives residents of DuPage County an opportunity to recycle or donate items that may otherwise end up in a landfill. This event provides for recycling of electronics and other hard-to-recycle items such as car batteries. For details on what will be taken, and how to volunteer to help, please see the Downers Grove village website, www.downers.us Rain Barrel Sale Was Successful On Saturday, May 8th over 400 residents picked up 544 rain barrels at the first ever Rain Barrel Sale Event sponsored by the Village of Downers Grove. This was the largest-ever single-event rain barrel sale in the western suburbs. Pierce Downer’s Heritage Alliance members were pleased to help publicize the event, provide many volunteers to help check in and load purchases and be listed as a partner by the Village. Rain barrel water is exempt from any watering restrictions and it is the first step in best management practices for stormwater mitigation. The barrels can be painted to match your house color palette or your whimsy with Krylon type paints. Thanks to the Village and its Community Events Director Mary Scalzetti for bringing this event to the village residents. We look forward to helping similar future events that help enrich our community. Heritage Alliance Mission Pierce Downer's Heritage Alliance is dedicated to preserving the natural and cultural heritage of Downers Grove. In the past, we have maintained sharp focus on the natural heritage within our community. Pierce Downer's Heritage Alliance has been instrumental in the preservation and protection of Lyman Woods, and Belmont Prairie, which continue as on-going projects. We are now also committed to the preservation of cultural aspects of Downers Grove, including its rich architectural heritage. We work to accomplish our mission through education as well as community outreach.  Can you find this house in Downers Grove and why is it
important?
