 We shredded more than 11,700 pounds of paper at Saturday's Community Shred Event with State Rep. Bob Rita! Each ton (2,000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, 4,000 kilowatts of energy, and 7,000 gallons of water. Therefore, we saved 99.45 trees, 2,223 gallons of oil, 23,400 kilowatts of energy, and 40,950 gallons of water.

 Lights! Camera! Action! We're looking for two Oak Forest families to star in our next round of Living Oak Forest advertising. Interested? Email a family photo to cityofoakforest@oak-forest.org by September 13 to be considered. Filming will begin at the end of the month and will require only a few hours of your time. In return, you will receive professional photos from the shoot and be the face of Oak Forest in our 2018 ads in Metra and CTA stations and regional billboards. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
