Andersonville Recycles!

Recycle along Clark Street as you shop, dine, and play in Andersonville

The Andersonville Recycles! program collects paper, plastic, aluminum, and glass through a partnership with the Chicago Resource Center, which guarantees a recycling rate of 99%

15 recycling receptacles can be found along Clark Street from 5100 north (Winona) to 5600 north (Olive) allowing pedestrians to recycle while they visit Andersonville!

Last November, we celebrated the one year anniversary of the very successful Andersonville Recycles! program. Program successes from 2009-2010 include:

-4.66 tons of recyclable material diverted from area landfills
-99% of recyclable material collected was recycled
-the recognition of Andersonville's environmental sustainability initiatives in the Chicago Sun Times, The Chicago Tribune, and Mindful Metropolis

To help fund collection costs and to ensure that Andersonville Recycles! operates for years to come, ADC has put together an Adopt-A-Can sponsorship program.

Recycling collection is made possible thanks to these 2012 Sponsors:

This project was started with financing from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. It is financially sustained through business sponsorships and funding from the Andersonville Development Corporation.
