Shredding Event Scheduled for May 31

We have scheduled a document shredding event for Saturday, May 31 from 8:30 am til 11:30 am . Enter through the highway department at 22376 Erhart Road. If the truck fills earlier than 11:30, the event will end.


You may bring the equivalent of 3 boxes to shred. Staples and paper clips are fine. The most efficient way is to place your items in a paper grocery bag. No plastic bags. To keep the line moving, you will not be able to exit your car and watch the shredding.


This shredding event is for documents only. Please recycle your coupons, magazines and junk mail with your weekly recycling. They will not be accepted.

Pop your trunk and we will take the items. Do not leave your car.

We will not accept any binders or hanging file folders or electronic items because they catch on fire in the truck. If the truck fills up before 11:30, the event will be over.



We look forward to seeing you and appreciate your patience.

Kirk Players Presents Jungle Book


The Kirk Players’ children’s show brings Mowgli and the whole gang together for The Jungle Book, by Joseph Robinette, based on the book by Rudyard Kipling. Mowgli is a curious and brave young boy who is lovingly raised by a family of wolves in the jungle. Mowgli learns about friendship and loyalty from his animal family, including the bumbling bear Baloo, the wise and kind panther Bagheera, and other jungle creatures as they protect him from the tiger Shere Khan. As he grows, Mowgli must decide whether he wants to stay in the jungle with his friends or go back to the village with the humans. This timeless story will appeal to children of all ages and features a menagerie of delightful characters. Coming to the Mundelein High School Theatre stage on Friday, March 28, 2025, and Saturday, March 29, 2025, at 7pm, with matinees at 2pm on Saturday, March 29 and Sunday, March 30.
