Champaign County Environmental Stewards - CCES

Thank you to BankChampaign for contributing to our capital campaign for a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility.

Improperly stored household hazardous waste can increase the likelihood of home fires. In addition to the potential injuries and damage caused by these fires, toxic fumes from household hazardous waste can seriously injure first responders.

That’s why CCES is raising funds to build a Household Hazardous Waste collection facility in Urbana. With your support, we can build a safe, clean future for generations to come.
