Public Works Director City of Elgin 150 Dexter Court Elgin, IL 60120-5555 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.
