City of East Peoria issued the following announcement on Aug. 13.
East Peoria Green Team is encouraging East Peoria residents to consider returning their old red/blue recycle bins to Public Works. The bins will be donated to ICC to use in its dorms and at other sites on campus. It is also hoped that District 86 will take as many as the teachers and principals can use. As you can imagine we could potentially reuse many bins. All you need to do is bring them empty and clean to Public Works at 2232 E. Washington St. From there they will be dispersed as requested by the East Peoria Green Team.
Due to their size, it has been discovered that the recycling bins cannot be recycled by the sorting facility. Therefore, they should not be placed inside the new 96-gallon blue lid recycling toters. Those already at the sorting facility will be repurposed.
