Instituting green cleaning initiatives over the next five years will save the Village of Lisle $60,000 or $12,000 per year. The changes will also reduce waste and result in cleaner, healthier facilities, a win-win for all involved.
Lisle Facilities Manager Bill Glowienke worked with cleaning vendor Crystal Maintenance and chemical manufacturer Diversey Inc to implement the changes, which support the Village's "Green by Choice" program. The "Green by Choice" program is dedicated to reducing environmental impact and conserving natural resources.
Changes made include capturing and removing pollutants as close to entrances as possible, replacing aersol cans with pump spray bottles containing "Green Seal" or other eco-friendly cleaning products, using HEPA vacuums that more effectively filter air and trap small particles, using microfiber towels to reduce waste and elminating harsh chemical cleaners.
In addition, cleaning products will be purchased locally to reduce the amount of fuel needed to ship materials to the Village. And they will be precisely metered in concentrate form so the Village can add water onsite and avoid paying to ship heavy solutions. When empty, the tamperproof containers can be recycled.
Facilities Manager Glowienke announced that the Village is currently working with representatives from Kranz Inc. and Diversey Inc to compare the program to the “Green School Clean Act” and expects the Village to become one of the few municipalities in the state to become fully and voluntarily compliant with the requirements.
