Recycle Right in WheatonToday is National Recycling Day, a perfect opportunity for a reminder about what can and can't go in your recycling bin. Recycling helps preserve the environment by reducing the use of natural resources through reusing materials. We asked LRS about the top three recycling bin offenders that people include in their recycling. Take a look at this video to find out what items to NOT recycle and learn how to #RecycleRight. |

New ‘Connect Wheaton’ Program Enlists Community to Help Solve CrimesAs the City continually seeks to promote and enhance public safety in our community, the Wheaton Police Department is enlisting the public’s help with a new safety initiative, Connect Wheaton. This program consists of an online security camera registry at www.connectwheaton.org where residents and businesses can register the location of their security cameras with the Wheaton Police Department to help expedite emergency response and crime investigations. Being able to determine where there are security cameras – including video doorbells, home security systems and commercial surveillance cameras – significantly enhances the Wheaton Police Department’s response efforts. With this information, Wheaton Police Department detectives can quickly determine if video evidence might be available at a particular location and whom to contact to request it. Your information will be kept confidential and only accessed in the event of a criminal investigation or emergency incident. For more information about Connect Wheaton, please visit the City's website. |

The community generously donated more than 2,000 articles of winter clothing for neighbors in need at donation bins throughout the downtown and beyond.
