Chicago's Recycling "Only Diverting 10 Percent"

Writer's picture: Barbara K.Barbara K.

At the end of 2016, DNA Info reported on the decrease in the effectiveness of Chicago's recycling program. That's right -- decrease. As other cities around the world are going green, Chicago is recycling only 10 percent of its waste.

While the city evaluates what it can do better, through partnerships with sustainability networks, we at CCRx are committed to being part of the solution by diverting surplus materials from landfills.

Chicago's diversion rate is a fraction of other cities', how can Streets & San increase involvement?
