Mc Henry Animal Control announces “Paws to Recycle” Program

Mc Henry County Animal Control is currently participating in a nationwide aluminum can recycling program to benefit humane societies and animal shelters. This is the first year that they have participated in the “Paws to Recycle” program. Collected cans will raise funds for the shelter’s many programs while earning free pet food for the animals. Animal control will also compete with other shelters nationwide for an additional $3,000 – to be awarded for the most pounds of aluminum cans recycled and the most community involvement. Aluminum cans will be accepted at the Mc Henry County Animal Shelter at 11608 Banford Road, Woodstock. Hours of acceptance is Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. This program goes from now until November 30, 1999. This fundraiser will not only help the environment, but will assist many animals that are in need of shelter. <back>

Burning is allowed in the Village of Lakemoor: It is the season for burning leaves and small branches. Please remember fires must be regulated and monitored. Fires must be 20 feet from any building, and it is unlawful to burn trash or waste matter. Do not burn on the roadways, it will destroy the roadway pavement. Please be considerate of your neighbors. Don’t forget it is unlawful to burn on December 25th and January 1st. Reminders for the upcoming snow season: Snow Plowing season is right around the corner. Please remember all of the roads cannot be plowed at the same time. The priorities are to open the roadways and widening of the intersections. Your mailboxes should be secure to handle the snow thrown during the plowing of the roadways. The clearing of the mailbox areas is the property owner’s responsibility. If a resident sees a street light out, please call the Village Hall at 385-2936 and we will contact Commonwealth Edison to have it replaced. <back>
