Over $2.1 million dollars in Bond County

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs’ staff will be at the City of Greenville on Wednesday, March 19, 2025 to help reunite citizens with missing money through the I-Cash program.

In Bond County, an estimated 19,900 people have unclaimed cash or property held by the treasurer’s office. The value exceeds $2,100,000 million. Statewide, Frerichs secures more than $5 billion in unclaimed cash and property.

“For most people, it is difficult to believe that they might have overlooked an investment account or forgot to pick up a final paycheck. However, the thousands of names in our database shows that it happens too often,” Frerichs said. “This money belongs to the residents of Illinois. It should be in their bank accounts rather than the state’s safe.”

The event will be from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 19, 2025 at the City of Greenville, 404 S. 3rd St., Greenville, IL. 

In Illinois, the state treasurer is tasked with safeguarding missing money, such as unpaid life insurance benefits, forgotten bank accounts and unused rebate cards. Illinois holds more than $5 billion in missing money. The state treasurer is legally required to return the property to the rightful owners no matter how long it takes. Individuals can search the state treasurer’s database for their name or the name of their business or non-profit at www.illinoistreasurer.gov/icash.

The City of Greenville’s Leaf Vacuuming program will run from Monday, March 17, 2025 through Thursday, April 17, 2025 (weather permitting). Residents are asked to rake their leaves to the edge of the curb or edge of the road so the vacuum can reach them.  Please keep piles no higher than three feet and make sure sticks, brush and other debris are not in the piles as it could cause the machine to malfunction.  The City of Greenville will compost the leaves and offer them back to residents. 

You can also set your bagged leaves out and the City of Greenville will pick them up throughout the week as the schedule allows by calling 618-664-1644, extension 1050.
