Re-cycling

 

Here at the Road District we continue to expand our re-cycling programs to help you rid yourselves of things like old paint cans.  This program ends every year in October and doesn’t resume until April- so now is the time to drop off old paint cans.  If we are out working leave them by the garage doors facing Cuba Road. If someone is around, we will be happy to help unload your car.  We are here from 7 to 3 Monday to Friday.  The Road District office is open from 8 to 4:30 Monday to Friday, located at the farm house west of the garages.

 

Speaking of recycling – we hear the State Legislature has passed a bill which now awaits the Governors signature for TV recycling.  This law will require manufacturers to accept for recycling at their expense analog TVs which will be replaced by many with digital next year when the new digital signals are used exclusively.  We also accept TV’s here so if you’re replacing yours, please feel free to bring it in.

 

We also take computers, printers, dead mice and other parts to your outdated computer.  Small appliances are welcome, as are old tires from cars and pick-ups, only.

 

I am organizing some re-cycling days for next year where we will bring the trucks to your neighborhoods for pick up and will update you more in the spring.  I am trying to get this organized with Lake Barrington Shores Condo President, John Schaller for a test run this fall in LBS. Watch for further information and dates.

 

Fall Festival

 

As you read elsewhere in this newsletter, our annual fall festival is coming on October 18th this year.  It’s a lot of fun and you’ll get to meet and talk to me!  Please do join in.  I wanted to give away beer, but our insurance company thought something like nail files or balloons might be more appropriate.  Seriously again – I always look forward to this event...from the leaf pile to pony rides- it’s great to see the kids, young and old, having old fashioned fun and I sure look forward to seeing you there.

 

I am here to listen to your concerns, questions. even a complaint.   The Road District is a separate organization from the Township and I am the guy to talk with regarding Road District issues.  I’m easily reached at the office at 847 381 7793, on my cell at 847 951 7575 or at my home at 847 382 1224.  Our website is www.cubaroads.com, interactive– check us out.  Don’t be bashful.

 

Best regards,

 

Tom Gooch

P.S.   FLASH FLASH FLASH  NEWS ON SALT

 

As we are finishing this newsletter for the printer, the media is beginning to carry stories regarding a salt shortage this winter.  Undoubtedly the articles will get more spectacular as winter approaches.  I want you to know that I am on top of this situation and we will have salt this winter.  It’s going to be more expensive, but we will have enough to keep you safe…..Not sure how this problem developed other than greed of salt companies, but there is plenty of time to visit that subject….right now I want to reassure you that I have been heavily involved in the effort to secure adequate supplies for Lake and McHenry Counties and we have secured adequate supplies.  Frankly, many of us will regard this as an opportunity to use less salt, a movement I heartily agree with……CUBA GOES GREEN??? I will have more info for you as we get closer to winter.
