Will County was one of 21 Sustainability Award winners in 2012, but is only the second County to win for countywide efforts since the award’s inception in 1987. The County won for programs including its enhanced recycling program, energy efficiency improvements in County-owned buildings, as well as the electronics collection program and permanent pharmaceutical collection sites.
