Composting Workshops
In collaboration with University of Illinois Extension Master Composter and Arlington Heights resident, Diane Bolash, SWANCC has developed a composting demonstration system. Educators and residents can learn the science behind mixing yard waste, such as leaves, grass and small twigs, with acceptable food scraps, to make a nutrient-rich soil amendment for lawns, gardens, flowers and plants.
Electronics Recycling
Since 1999, SWANCC has provided environmentally-responsible recycling for end-of-life computers and electronics.
Document Destruction Events
As a courtesy to residents who have sensitive documents to recycle, such as medical records, tax forms, bank statements, etc., the Agency continues to provide seasonal Document Destruction Events.

Education programs are an important benefit of SWANCC membership. This newsletter describes programs SWANCC is offering to residents of member communities and area schools.
