Recycling Opportunities

Shred sensitive papers and recycle old clothing today at the Public Works Center, 201 South Blvd. Here are the details:

• Each household is limited to two bags or small boxes of paper. Only items with personal information such as canceled checks, documents containing credit card numbers, social security numbers and medical information will be accepted. Paper materials that can be placed in the recycling cart or bin, such as newspaper, magazines, chipboard or junk mail, will not be accepted.
   
• All types of old clothing and apparel in any condition will be accepted. Through a cooperative program with the Epilepsy Foundation, items such as shoes, belts, hats, bags, linens and towels will be sent to developing nations to repurpose. The Epilepsy Foundation also offers residential pickup - visit www.epilepsychicago.org or www.donateillinois.org for more information.
