It’s simple:
We help Chicagoans reduce waste.
What we do
Collect
We host events to collect items that can be reused, repurposed or are difficult to recycle.
Inspire
We share best practices with schools, organizations, businesses and individuals.
Advocate
We support policies that shift the burden of waste from residents to producers.
Keep your eclipse glasses
out of the landfill
Drop off your solar eclipse glasses with us and we’ll send them to Astronomers Without Borders to be reused in other parts of the world. Glasses will be accepted at all our events through June 1.
Are you with a school? Contact us to make arrangements.
