Orbus Exhibit & Display Group™, one of North America’s leading suppliers of display, exhibit and event solutions participated in the DuPage River Sweep on Saturday, May 18, 2013 at Hidden Lakes Historic Trout Farm in Bolingbrook, Illinois in the effort to help the community clean the river and restore it to its original state.
Orbus’ environmental goals reach beyond its own facilities and endeavors to improve the environment on a local scale. As recent floods devastated areas along the DuPage River, debris was sent downstream, settling in valleys, trees and pathways. Volunteers picked up garbage in and along local sections of the river, helping to clean and reduce pollutants.
“As Orbus continually strives to reduce its footprint on the environment,” said Jim Concannon, Quality Assurance Manager & North American ISO Specialist at Orbus. “The DuPage River Sweep is a great opportunity to step out of our own four walls and help our local community do the same.”
The annual River Sweep has removed nearly 220 tons of garbage since its inception in 1991 by more than 8,800 volunteers.
