Franklin Park Partners with State and Tollway to Save Jobs

By partnering with the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Illinois Tollway, the Village   helped to ensure that Interplex Daystar will expand their operations in Franklin Park, saving at least 70 jobs and adding numerous new jobs in the future.  Interplex Daystar is currently located on the site line of the proposed Elgin-O’Hare expansion project, so the Village worked with the Tollway and State to facilitate a fair purchase of the firm's current facility.  In addition, the Village helped the company find a new location for a future home in Franklin Park.
 

Electronics Landfill Ban In Effect

RecycleA new, statewide electronics landfill ban prohibits waste haulers from removing obsolete electronic with trash pick-up.  Instead, residents are encouraged to bring these items to the Village’s electronic recycling containers.
 
“Illinois law will now prohibit residents and businesses from dumping their e-waste in the garbage,” stated Mayor Barrett Pedersen.  “The law was enacted to solve the problem of discarded electronics, the fastest growing element of our country’s municipal waste stream.  The Village’s waste haulers will no longer remove discarded electronics if they are placed with your trash.”
 
The Village has provided a recycling container, free of charge, to all Franklin Park residents, schools and businesses at 9364 Franklin Avenue, just West of Martens.  Drop-off hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 3:00pm and is closed on Village holidays.
 
According to the US EPA, Americans throw away 400 million electronic products each year.  Electronics contain toxic materials and it is critical that they be properly managed to prevent soil and groundwater contamination.  The landfill ban includes: TVs, all types of computers, monitors, printers, computer peripherals, televisions, keyboards, fax machines, recorders, mp3 players, video consoles, DVD players, computer gaming systems, phones, scanners, digital converter box, cable receivers, satellite receivers, and small scale servers.
