DES PLAINES, Ill. – State Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, will be hosting his annual Community Shred Day to provide residents with a way to safely and securely dispose documents with sensitive personal information, on Saturday, June 22 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Juno Lighting Group parking lot, located at 1300 S. Wolf Rd. in Des Plaines.

“Shredding documents is a safe and secure way to protect the financial integrity and personal information of our residents,” said Moylan. “I encourage everyone in the community to stop by our event this Saturday so we can help shred and safely dispose any documents that may contain personal or confidential information.”

Moylan, who will be joined by state Sen. Laura Murphy, D-Des Plaines, asks residents to enter on the Wolf Rd. side of the parking lot, as the Algonquin side will be used by Juno Lighting Group employees. Attendees are asked to remember to remove all paper clips, staples and other bindings as they will not be able to enter the shred truck. Attendees will be limited to two boxes of documents per car.

DES PLAINES, Ill. – As residents at Blackhawk Estates await access to running water again, state Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, has teamed up with state Sen. Laura Murphy, D-Des Plaines, Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison, the Illinois Beverage Association and Great Lakes Coca-Cola to deliver bottled water to families.

“While we need to take swift action to understand and correct the water issue impacting residents, our first priority is getting clean water to them,” Moylan said. “I’m thankful for the donations that have come from businesses and residents to help our neighbors out.” 

Due to the extreme low temperatures that swept across the country last week, residents at Blackhawks Estates lost access to clean running water after local pipes froze and burst. A boil order is in effect for the community, which has begun to receive donations of bottled water to assist residents before service is safely resumed.

“Losing access to water is difficult at any time of year, but particularly so in the middle of winter,” Moylan said. “My office is ready to work with residents during and after this crisis to make sure they receive the resources they deserve.”
