Morton Grove Mayor Dan Staackmann said he's looking for three residents to serve on a committee to investigate whether a waster transfer station or recycling center would pose threats to health and safety.
At a recent Morton Grove village board meeting, Mayor Dan Staackmann announced plans to create a fact-finding committee to evaluate whether a waste transfer or recycling station would impact the safety, property and/or health of residents. According to a statement prepared by the village office, Staackmann said if the committee finds a negative impact on the village, he will not endorse such a project nor will he allow any required municipal code changes. Staackmann has signed up three people on the committee and is looking for three more. The three already on board are Director of Public Works Andy DeMonte, Sanitarian Bonnie Burnett and Traffic and Safety Commissioner Lee Tamraz. The target date to report findings is July 31. "Mayor …

The newly-merged company is called Lakeshore Recycling Systems, according to recyclingtoday.com.

Lakeshore Waste Services announced it will not pursue an application for a waste transfer station, but may look at an alternate use for its property in Morton Grove.
The Village of Morton Grove made public the following press release, issued by Lakeshore Waste Services early Friday evening: "Lakeshore Waste Services has informed the Village of Morton Grove that it will not pursue previously discussed plans to develop a waste transfer station on property adjacent to its corporate headquarters in the community. “'We continue to believe that a waste transfer station would be a compatible and acceptable land use in Morton Grove, given the proposed industrial park location and the strict environmental regulations that would govern its operations,' said Josh Connell, president of Lakeshore Waste Services.

If the situation in Chicago shows anything, the unions more than teachers are putting money, control and dues above the welfare of the children. We're reading that D67 unions won't let their teachers volunteer their own time to help the kids? I think most teachers are dedicated and put the kids first, its the weak school boards and administrators at fault for bending to union demands. A well … more ›
Potential project has met with strong opposition from residents, village administrator will address the issue tonight at 7 p.m. at the village meeting.
Resident opposition has been squared strongly against a transfer station proposed by Lakeshore Waste Services at 6132 W. Oakston St. near Lehigh.

In a recent article on the subject published by Niles-Morton Grove Patch, there were more than 50 comments made by readers.

The proposal would gain each MG resident between $3 to $10 per year by the estimates...weigh that against the decrease in property values and, more importantly, the …

Residents are concerned about increased pollution and health hazards as an overbearing cost of the proposition, village administrator plans to address the issue at the Aug. 13 board meeting.
Lakeshore Waste Services has expressed interest in building a transfer station at its corporate headquarters located at 6132 W. Oakton St. near the intersection of Lehigh Ave. in the village's industrial park. Concerned residents, meanwhile, are teaming up to oppose the idea, based on concerns over health hazards, increased pollution and the negative effect such a project could have on property values in the village. A tranfer station is a temporary processing site where waste is brought in by smaller trucks and held there until it is tranferred by larger vehicles, to landfills. "This is a more economical method of transporting waste," according to Peter Falcone, assistant to the village administrator. Residents aware of the potential…
