With our source separated recycling program all recyclable materials can be mixed together in the collection container. This means there is no need for sorting recyclable items into separate commodities or specific bins. The collection and processing systems are designed to handle a fully commingled mixture of recyclables. (All waste is placed in separate garbage containers.)
Premier Waste and Recycling’s source separated recycling program meets all the requirements of the City of Chicago’s Residential Recycling Ordinance. Our program incorporates the three primary components for compliance: a written recycling plan, educational materials, and a source separated recycling program.
Premier Waste and Recycling will work together with the management association to develop and promote the building’s recycling program. As part of your program, Premier Waste and Recycling will provide:
- assistance in the development of practical and effective recycling collection systems
- professional quality education, training and promotional materials and services
- timely pick-up of materials
- detailed and accurate recycling reports, data, and invoicing
