Nancy asks…

I need help with recycling in the Chicago-area?

How do I find a local recycling center? I live in the suburbs of Chicago, which is in Illinois (obviously); I’ve looked online and I can’t seem to find a recycling center or anywhere I can drop off things to recycle. Is there a website that lists recycling drop-offs or might have relevant information to help me out? My neighborhood does NOT have a recycling truck that comes by every week to get recyclables.

The Expert answers:

Have you tried calling the folks who collect your garbage? I live in a super small town and we have a recycling drop off here in town.

I’m in NW Indiana and I know a lot of stores such as Strack’s have drop off centers in their parking lots.

Good luck!
