Dear Gary:
Thank you for expressing an interest in hosting a used motor
Oil collection event, co-sponsored with the County and the Kane-
DuPage Soil and Water Conservation District. The District held a
very successful collection last summer at the County Highway
Department and we are looking forward to expanding the availability
of this service to residents across the County.
The program will be serviced by R & S Used Oil of Monee. They
provide a tanker truck during the collection and accept the oil at
no charge. Residents bring the used oil to the collection point,
where it is emptied into 55 gallon drums by District and County
staff. The empty containers are then immediately returned to the
residents.
R & S personnel pumps the oil from the drums into their
tanker. A gravel or sand base is strongly recommended for the
handling area. R & S cleans up all spills, although at previous
events spillage has been limited to incidental amounts. R & S is
licensed and insured, and the District-1-s liability insurance will
also cover the event.
We would like to hold once-a month collections from . June
through October around the County. The collections would be on
Saturdays from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. The draft schedule of locations
is as follows:
June 25 - Kane County Highway Dept. , Campton Township
July - Aurora
. August - - St. Charles
September - Elgin
October - Elburn
�z
The County and the District will provide publicity, staffing,
and coordination with R & S at each event. We are asking each
municipality to provide a location, select a preferred Saturday
during the assigned month, provide one staff person, and-publicize
the event in their newsletter.
The District's collection last summer netted 3,000 gallons of
used oil from 150 - 200 cars - on a Wednesday! Used Oil also
represents a major portion of the material accepted during
household hazardous waste collections. It is clear that there is
a public demand for a convenient method to properly handle used
oil, and we believe that this series of collection days is a step
in the right direction.
Please let me know as soon as possible if your community will
be able to host one of these events. We would like to establish
dates for all of them, so we can publicize the entire series. If
you need any additional information, please contact myself at 208-
3841 or Nancy Bennett at the Soil & Water Conservation District at
584-7961.
Sincerely,
r �
