Some of our EP Green members will be gathering at the East Peoria 4^th of July celebration site at 8 a.m. July 5^th. Come and be patriotic with the green team and help the city of East Peoria to be good community of the Earth. We will be picking up all the materials left along the river front by the 4^th of July partiers. We will make sure that the garbage goes in the trash cans and that the recyclables go in the recycling toters. The city will pick things up after we are finished. We hope to be joined by some members of the EPCHS Hope Club and the ICC SAFE Club. If you can join us please bring gloves to protect your hands and water to keep you hydrated.

As of June 15^th East Peoria Green will be accepting used BATTERIES at their booth at the FARMERS MARKET.  All you have to do is bring your dead batteries with you to farmers market and turn them in at our booth.  East Peoria Green will take them to be recycled.  We will take all regular batteries: AA, AAA, D-cell, 9 volt, and batteries for power tools.  Please don’t bring in old car batteries.  You should exchange that when you get a new battery.
