New Hefty ReNew Partnership Solves Hard-to-Recycle Refuse

Launching in October, the Village of Deerfield is partnering with Hefty, Lakeshore Recycling Systems and SWALCO to offer a new recycling program designed to complement current efforts.

Residents can purchase a box of orange Hefty ReNew bags from their grocery store, place hard-to-recycle items like chip bags, Styrofoam, plastic bags, candy wrappers and plastic utensils into these bags, and then put the bags into their curbside recycling bin.

Lakeshore Recycling Systems will sort and recycle these items into new products, supporting environmental sustainability and advancing a circular plastics economy by diverting waste from landfills.

Just leave the bag of items in your recycle bin and LRS will sort them and recycle them into new products.

For more information, visit the Hefty ReNew page on the Village's website.

Fall is in full swing, and so is the produce at the Deerfield Farmers Market! We’ve got all varieties of apples, hard squash, and pumpkins ready for your fall feasts. Need your knives sharpened for all that chopping? Rich's Sharpening has you covered!

This Saturday, the Deerfield Park District is bringing a special kids activity—"Roll the Dice for Kids!" It’s a fun exercise game that’ll keep the little ones moving and smiling.

It’s also Twisted Olive’s last market of the season, so don’t miss your chance to stock up!

We’re in the final countdown — this is the second-to-last market of the season! Make sure to stop by and soak up all the fall flavors before the season wraps up.
