HELP US BY RECYLING

MORRIS TICK

Take your aluminum cans and scrap metal to Morris Tick in Bloomington and ask to have the proceeds applied to the Sugar Grove Nature Center account.  Not only are you recycling, which saves precious natural resources and keeps recyclable waste out of landfills, you are also helping us continue to offer quality programs, a warm and friendly facility, and beautiful grounds to explore.

Morris Tick accepts all grades of scrap iron and metal including aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, lead, and even catalytic converters, radiators, appliances, and automobiles!  As an added bonus, they will donate an additional 5 cents per pound over base price to Sugar Grove Nature Center for aluminum cans!

Morris Tick Recycling Center is located at 501 E. Stewart Street in Bloomington.  Call 309.828.6084 or visit their website www.morristick.com for directions, hours, and other information.

PRINTER CARTRIDGES

Sugar Grove Nature Center is now an official site for recycling cell phones, ink jet, laser, and toner cartridges. By recycling qualified items, Sugar Grove Nature Center will receive funds to help offset the cost of office supplies and printing. 

Over a billion new printer cartridges and cell phones are sold in the United States each year adding to our nation’s large carbon footprint (the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere due to the use of fossil fuels, especially in manufacturing). Most of these items, although recyclable, end up in landfills. Qualified items recycled here will be remanufactured—saving them from our local landfills while generating revenue for the Nature Center. Help both the environment and the Nature Center by participating in this program! 

Undamaged cell phones and their associated accessories, all inkjet, laser, and toner cartridges that have not previously been refilled or refurbished are accepted. Please place your items in a sealed bag if possible and deposit them in a drop off container inside the Nature Center. And as always, thank you for your support!
