Waste Management Presents Check to Will County

More than half a million after collaboration

​JOLIET, IL – At this month's Will County Board meeting, a representative from Waste Management presented Will County Board leadership with a $650,000 host community benefit check for the Laraway Recycling and Disposal Facility Expansion. 
 
"We've been working with Waste Management to find the best solution for the Laraway landfill for a while," said Democratic minority leader Herb Brooks (D-Joliet). "It's nice to have the expansion officially approved, and to receive this generous check. I want to give a big thanks to Waste Management for their continued support to District 8."
 
Waste Management began working with Will County in 2007 on a host agreement to take over the environmental remediation of the phosphogypsum stack at the site of the defunct Olin Chemical plant, in exchange for an expansion of the Laraway landfill.

Weight limit reduced on Channahon-Minooka Rd.
Concerns about safety take limit from 40 tons to 14 tons

​JOLIET, IL – The Will County Board today voted to reduce the gross weight of vehicles on Channahon-Minooka Road between US Route 6 and Bell Road from 40 tons to 14 tons.
 
“This measure will increase safety for the residents and students in Channahon and Minooka,” said County Board Member and Chairman of Public Works Committee Don Gould (R-District 6). “I am pleased to sponsor this resolution and want to thank Channahon Mayor Schumacher and Minooka Mayor Brennan for their support.”
 
Channahon-Minooka Road, also known as County Highway 32, is a major throughway connecting the towns of Channahon and Minooka. The road serves several residential neighborhoods and schools and has been used as a route by large trucks. The Will County Board Public Works Committee worked closely with both communities to address residents’ concerns about safety and to ensure that there were other routes available for heavy truck traffic.
