This helpful to have, since my building does not have recycling. There is someone on site to help if you have any questions. It's also helpful to have your recycling pre-sorted before you go.

I have been there and do not think that any plastic bags or plastic film are accepted. There is a large bin for plastic containers, milk jugs, water bottles, clamshell packaging etc.

They don't seem to take any liquids like paint etc so I'm guessing no gas. Sounds dangerous

No they do not. Instead leave metal chairs next to your garbage bins. Metal collectors will often take it.

DO YOU TAKE OLD TV'S

ROBERT LANG | Oct 10, 2021
Jacob J. | Apr 13, 2022

They do not. If they are flat, plasma, led and newer type, best to donate. Old, square boxes have to be discarded elsewhere. Check with Chicago or suburban "public works" sites. There are neighborhood postings which discuss selected days to drop off particular electronics.

i am looking for some medium size tree branches for an art project - are there any resources for this in Chicago/North side?

Betty Howard | Oct 10, 2020
Jacob J. | Apr 13, 2022

I'm not a representative. A suggestion would be to walk the park, searching for loose branches on the ground. You could also call and speak with Peterson Park management, to find out when they send out park workers to prune trees. The city routinely does this with park works and the cut branches are left on streets for shredding. Prior to shredding, residents are allowed to take branches, trunks, etc. *Free wood for wood burning.

do you take batteries

"The Illinois EPA and all states except California agree that alkaline batteries can be safely disposed of in the trash. Disposal: Alkaline batteries are the only batteries that can safely be placed in the trash cart. No batteries of any kind should be placed in City recycling carts."
