Information
The Village of Mount Prospect will begin the rollout of the Single -Use Plastic Utensil Reduction
Program on March 14. This initiative aims to educate and help the community understand the
important difference individuals can make in the Village of Mount Prospect. Signs will be
placed at pick-up and carry out locations of participating restaurants, coffee shops, and other
single -use plastic utensil -producing businesses, reminding patrons to let the businesses know
if they do or do not want plastic utensils. Businesses were also asked to have staff only
provide single -use plastic utensils upon request. There are currently 17 participating
businesses for the rollout, but more are welcome to join in. Look for the sky-blue sign stating
"Plastic Reduction Partner" in restaurant businesses to see who is participating in the program!
Thank you to all the participating businesses as well as the Downtown Merchants Association,
The Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce, and Randhurst Village for encouraging their
members to participate.
