Teutopolis Recycling Program
Every year, Americans throw away enough paper, plastic cups, forks, and spoons to circle the equator 300 times. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average American produces a total of 29 pounds per week (1,600 pounds a year.) Effingham County is only one of two counties in Illinois which does not have a country wide supported recycling program.

Aluminium cans, plastic sacks and paper can be dropped off at the paper depot also located at this address. For guidelines please click here.
