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.
