Halloween Candy Wrapper Recycling Planned At Deerfield Village Hall
The candy wrappers collected through Trash or Treasure are mailed to a recycling processor.
DEERFIELD, IL — If you want to get rid of your used candy wrappers this Halloween and help the environment, recycling might be the best option. The Village of Deerfield is partnering with Rubicon's Trash or Treasure program this holiday season.
The collected candy wrappers are mailed to a recycling processor. The processor then sorts and cleans the candy wrappers before the material is shredded and pelletized. The plastic from the candy wrappers is used to create doggy bags for local animal shelters. Officials said any paper or aluminum wrappers are recycled using traditional methods.
The recycling box is located at Village Hall and candy wrappers can be dropped off during regular business hours.
