Community Compost Collection Series

Join us for our third event on Saturday, June 26, 2021.

University of Illinois Extension in Cook County and Village of Park Forest have teamed up to keep compostables out of the landfill. Drop off your yard/garden/kitchen waste to be composted and stay for free giveaways.

Help us reach our goal of collecting 5 tons of compostable material at this one-day-only event.
