Celebrate America Recycles Day for free November 15 at Anita Purves Nature Center


The entire community is invited to Anita Purves Nature Center from 10 a.m. - Noon on November 15, for the free America Recycles Day celebration.

The park district, The Idea Store and U-Cycle are joining together to celebrate different ways to reduce waste in the community. 

This year, we are also celebrating machines! This touch-a-truck event will feature big vehicles, plus a fix-it station for clothing and textiles. Check out the big trucks and bring along an item or two of clothing for repair or do-it-yourself instructions. No registration required.

Families can also enjoy recycling games and people can create their own mending kit through The Idea Store.

Call (217) 384-4062 for more information. Everything is free and there is no registration required.

Everyone is invited to America Recycles Day, November 15, at the nature center!
