Waste Management

Recycling

One of the cornerstones to an effective waste management program is the recycling of used materials which would otherwise be disposed of in a landfill. Recycling includes the proper collection, sorting and processing of materials so that they may be used as a raw material to make another product. Many citizens of Illinois already recycle aluminum cans, bottles, plastic, and paper. We can also recycle paint, oil, and tires as well as many other materials you may not have considered before. Additional information on recycling opportunities follows:

Bureau of Land citizen involvement

Commercial recycling facilities

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (connection to the USEPA web site)

Industrial Material Exchange Service

Your company's waste can be a valuable resource material to another company.

Partners in Paint

Retailers that have agreed to accept your unwanted paint.
