Recycling is one of the easiest things we can do to protect our environment. By recycling, we turn trash into reusable materials, help create jobs and conserve our natural resources. At theChicago Park District, we carry out our commitment to recycling internally through our day-to-day operations, and citywide through our programs andworkshops/events. We encourage you to partner with us and the City ofChicagoin these recycling efforts.
