Recycling

Where can I recycle...?

We must not forget that our health, as well as the health of our planet - depends solely on us. Therefore, it is worth remembering the various strategies and processing of materials, the ability to abandon certain materials or products, in order not to pollute the environment. If you want to better explore this topic, or get research on a narrower topic, find cheap ghostwriters for hire.

Plastic bags: Take your plastic bags to Whole Foods. Lake City Cleaners (Emerson St and Sherman St) is also collecting them for Evanston's elderly to weave into sleeping mats for the homeless.

Quick useful link: Reducing Your Environmental Impact with Excel.

Cell phones: The Northwestern police department is collecting cell phones to give to battered women.

Batteries: Should be dropped off at the bin in Hillel or Norris (bin is located to the right of the revolving doors at the main entrance).

CFLs: Put your CFLs in a plastic bag and drop them off at Hillel (629 Foster St) or Norris.

ECO's Dedication to Recycling: Ink cartridges, batteries, CFLs

ECO has partnered with Cartridge World to recycle printer cartridges, toner cartridges, and batteries. ECO receives compensation for some of the cartridges. However, most of what ECO and Cartridge World collect, including all batteries, is recycled at no profit, simply to prevent a polluted and unnecessarily large waste stream.

Collection bins are located at the Norris University Center, Hillel, Lisa's cafe, and various dorms and Greek houses on campus, which receive monetary compensation for their participation. You can also safely dispose of your compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) at the collection bin at Hillel or at Lemoi Ace Hardware at 1008 Davis St.

Money collected by ECO by selling cartridges to Cartridge World goes to the ECO Bright Ideas Grant for sustainability projects on campus. Money collected by Greek houses (or other student residences) goes to each organization itself, providing a useful and incentivized way to recycle.

For more information or to obtain a bin for your residence, please contact [email protected].
